Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction with Cardiogenic Shock in Apical Ballooning Syndrome.

UNLABELLED Apical ballooning syndrome, also called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of mid to apical segments and hyperkinesis of basal segments of the left ventricle that mimic acute myocardial infarction without significant coronary artery stenosis. We reported a 51-year-old man with chest distress, hypotension and abnormal electrocardiogram. Echoca...

Apical ballooning syndrome complicated by acute severe mitral regurgitation with left ventricular outflow obstruction – Case report

BACKGROUND Apical ballooning syndrome (or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is a syndrome of transient left ventricular apical ballooning. Although first described in Japanese patients, it is now well reported in the Caucasian population. The syndrome mimicks an acute myocardial infarction but is characterised by the absence of obstructive coronary disease. We describe a serious and poorly understood c...

Apical ballooning "tako-tsubo" syndrome associated with transient left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

A 72-year-old female without prior cardiovascular history presented with intermittent crushing chest pain associated with diaphoresis and weakness for 2 days prior to admission. An electrocardiogram (EKG) revealed ST segment elevation across the anterior precordial leads (Fig. 1). On initial examination, the patient was hypotensive (88/40 mmHg) and tachycardic (110 bpm) with a grade III/VI hars...

Transient apical ballooning in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

A 79-year-old white woman with known hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) presented with sudden-onset chest pain and no identifiable stressor. Examination suggested a new apical 3/6 systolic murmur and pulmonary edema. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed anterolateral wall ischemia. The patient’s peak troponin T level was 2.5 ng/mL. Echocardiography revealed a basal hypertrophied septu...

Unexplained hypotension: the spectrum of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in critical care settings.

OBJECTIVE To illustrate the clinical and hemodynamic abnormalities caused by dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in critical care setting. DESIGN We reviewed cases referred to Cardiology with echocardiographic evidence of LVOTO and their clinical presentations. We present those cases where LVOTO can transiently occur without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy when inotropic ag...

Transient left ventricular apical ballooning complicated by a mural thrombus and outflow tract obstruction in a patient with pheochromocytoma.

A 53-year-old postmenopausal woman presented at the emergency department shortly after an episode of intense emotional stress. She was experiencing angina-like chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST-segment elevation in the anterolateral and inferior leads (Fig. 1). Immediate coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed extensive mid-...
