Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a form of stress which reversible. It can clinically mimic an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. We present case 63 year old female, who was diagnosed with takotsubo in the immediate postoperative period, following microwave ablation for metastatic liver lesion. Despite only accounting small percentage acute coronary syndrome presentations, it still importan...

Takotsubo or stress-induced cardiomyopathy is a cardiomyopathy in which the patient has a sudden onset, reversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction without any significant coronary artery disease. Four women, who were at a mean age of 64 years and suffered from chest pain exacerbated by emotional stress, were admitted as cases of acute coronary syndrome and were completely evaluated throug...

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an acute cardiac condition characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction with wall motion abnormalities, most commonly in the form of apical ballooning. Despite being considered as a generally benign condition, many studies have emphasized potentially sinister outcomes associated with TTC. In this article, we review the most recent results of the Inte...

Background: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is known as a syndrome of transient and acute left ventricular dysfunction caused by emotional physiological stressors. Due to variety complications in the phase, recently, there has been increased attention TTC

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as 'broken heart syndrome' or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and/or mid segments of the left ventricle, in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with stress-induced cardiomyopathy a...

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 Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare variant of classic takotsubo cardiomyopathy that presents within a different patient profile and with its own hemodynamic considerations. Its recognition is important for prognostic, evaluation and treatment considerations. CASE PRESENTATION Case 1: A 69-year-old Caucasian woman presented with substernal chest pain following a motor vehi...

BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute cardiac syndrome characterized by transient LV regional wall motion abnormalities (with peculiar apical ballooning appearance), chest pain or dyspnea, ST-segment elevation and minor elevations of cardiac enzyme levels CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old woman was admitted to the Emergency Department because of sudden onset chest pain occurred while ...
