A Unique Case Of Recurrent Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy- Atypical Followed By Typical Variant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC), synonymous with apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome, stress induced/ ampulla cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction of apical ( typical) or mid segments (atypical), mimicking acute myocardial infarction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease . We report a rare case of recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy in which the first and second presentations were atypical and typical variants respectively. We performed a literature search regarding takotsubo cardiomyopathy with emphasis on incidence and recurrence especially if one type was followed by other.

Morphologically unique feature of recurrent ampulla (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy.
Two similar rare cases of recurrent ampulla (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy, which was induced by physical stress of recurrent rhabdomyolysis in case 1 and aggravation of respiratory disease in case 2, are presented. At the initial admission, both patients had typical ampulla cardiomyopathy, which was indicated by transient left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning, but at the second admission, they b...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy and structural abnormalities of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can be divided in apical ballooning, mid-ventricular ballooning, and rarely in basal ballooning. The role of left anterior descending coronary artery is still in debate. Spasms, myocardial bridging and recurrent segment (wrap-around) LAD have been described in takotsubo cardiomyopathy. 8 patients (4 females, mean age 74.3 ± 9.7 years) with typical apical ballooning in 4...

INTRODUCTION "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy" is characterized by transient LV dysfunction and mimicking acute myocardial infarction. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a case with atypical presentation of "takotsubo cardiomyopathy" without ST segment elevation, but with severe transient left ventricular dysfunction. CONCLUSION Diagnosis of "takotsubo cardiomyopathy" should be based on typical left ve...
متن کاملVariable conduction system disorders in takotsubo cardiomyopathy: a case series.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute cardiac condition characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the left ventricular apex and mid-ventricle. Documented EKG presentations for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy include ST-segment elevation or T-wave inversion. These EKG presentations are included in the diagnostic requirements for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This paper presents two cases of atypica...
متن کاملMidventricular form of takotsubo cardiomyopathy as a recurrence 1 year after typical apical ballooning: a case report
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was first described in Japan and is characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning in the absence of a significant coronary artery disease.Caused by the clinical presentation including chest pain, electrocardiographic changes and elevated myocardial markers this syndrome is frequently misdiagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome. Recurrences of Takotsubo Ca...
