Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (Transient Left Ventricular Apical Ballooning Syndrome): A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome, was first described in the Japanese literature in 1991 by Dote et al. More current names include broken heart syndrome, stressinduced cardiomyopathy or stress cardiomyopathy. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy accounts for 1% of admissions for suspected acute myocardial infarct ion in Japan (2) and i t is increasingly recognized in the West. To our knowledge, only two cases have been reported in Taiwan. The syndrome is characterized by abrupt onset of angina-like chest pain, mild creatine kinase (CK) and troponin I elevations, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes that typically demonstrate anterior ST segment elevation on precordial leads V3-6 or deep T wave inversion with QT prolongation.

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (transient left ventricular apical ballooning) is a reversible form of cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology. Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is typically precipitated by sudden emotional or physical stress, and is associated with excessive sympathetic stimulation and catecholamine release. Its clinical presentation is similar to that of acute coronary syndrome. The diagn...

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a syndrome mostly observed in post-menopausal women, which mimics myocardial infarction with an ST elevation; and coronary angiography shows apical ballooning but a normal left anterior descending. Although coronary artery disease is considered as an exclusion criterion, for differential diagnosis of this type of cardiomyopathy, Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy cases accom...
متن کامل[Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome--a case report].
We present a case of a 78-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital due to clinical and electrographic features of ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries and severe left ventricular contractility abnormalities, detected initially by echocardiography, which resolved within 20 days from hospital admission. Because of these findings ...
