چکیده

Ampulla cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is a syndrome, consisting of acute-onset, transient, and abnormal left ventricular wall motion with apical akinesis and basal normokinesis without any detectable coronary lesions. The syndrome has symptoms and signs that are similar to acute myocardial infarction, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) changes (ST-segment elevation and subsequent giant T wave inversion) and abnormal myocardial enzymes. There are many etiologies for this syndrome that have been discussed in the past decade, but the precise etiology remains unclear. The clinical prognosis is usually benign. We reported a 71-year-old woman with ampulla cardiomyopathy precipitated by diabeteic ketoacidosis. We propose that catecholamine-related microcirculation dysfunction appears to be the most likely etiology. ( J Intern Med Taiwan 2007; 18: 120-124 )

A Case of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Precipitated by Thyroid Storm and Diabetic Ketoacidosis with Poor Prognosis.

UNLABELLED Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCMP) is known as stress cardiomyopathy, and long-term prognosis is generally excellent if recovering from an acute stage. Both thyroid storm and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are reported to be rare causes of TCMP. However, there are no studies discussing TCMP as induced by a combination of thyroid storm and DKA, and the prognosis is unknown. Herein we report...

Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Case with Chest Pain and Family History of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Case Report

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by a multitude of mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (1). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...
