Acute gastritis-induced Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy

چکیده
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE A 50-year-old lady presented with epigastralgia, electrocardiogram (ECG) showed T-wave inversions and the echocardiogram low ejection fraction (EF) with apical ballooning. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed gastritis. She recovered with proton pump inhibitors treatment. This is the first case that describes gastritis-induced stress cardiomyopathy. Clinicians should be aware of Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy (TCM) as a possible complication of gastritis.

Takotsubo's Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Kartagener's Syndrome
A 46-year-old African-American male with past medical history significant for Kartagener's syndrome, essential hypertension, and HIV presented with acute chest pain. ECG and troponins indicated an acute myocardial infarction. Ventriculography confirmed dyskinesia of the left ventricle, with an EF of 25%. However the coronary catheterization showed nonobstructed coronaries. Ventricular contracti...
متن کاملA case of intracranial hemorrhage causing stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
The classic finding of Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy is left ventricular systolic dysfunction with echocardiographic evidence of apical ballooning in the absence of significant coronary disease. Intracranial hemorrhage is a known cause for stress-induced cardiomyopathy with a similar echocardiographic presentation. This diagnostic finding suggests a similar pathophysiologic mechanism between neuro...

The long-term cost-effectiveness of improving alcohol abstinence with adjuvant acamprosate.
A computer model was developed with decision analysis software to explore the long-term clinical and economic outcomes of alcohol abstinence maintenance with either standard counselling therapy or standard therapy plus 48 weeks of adjuvant acamprosate in detoxified alcoholic patients. Important complications of alcoholism were modelled using Markov processes, and included relapse (return to dri...

We analyzed profiles of IgG autoantibodies to 16 cardiac specific proteins and their main immunogenic region B-epitopes, in the groups of already verified cardiac pathology: acute and chronic lymphocytic myocarditis, ST elevation myocardial infarction, postinfarction remodeling of myocardium, dilated cardiomyopathy and in healthy controls along with patients, suffered from gastritis (to evaluat...
