Transient Apical Thickening Following Apical Ballooning Syndrome: A Case Series

open access: yesEchocardiography, 2015
The authors describe transient apical thickening mimicking apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy following apical ballooning syndrome. These findings are observed on multimodality cardiac imaging and appear to constitute a novel entity. Possible pathophysiologic mechanisms are explored.

Apical Ballooning Resulting From Limbic Encephalitis

American Journal of Medicine, 2009
Neurogenic stunned myocardium is an increasingly recognized cause of left ventricular apical ballooning, or takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We report the first case of neurogenic stunned myocardium as a result of limbic encephalitis.This 73-year-old woman with anterograde and retrograde amnesia was investigated using electrocardiography, magnetic resonance ...
