Transient Apical Ballooning Syndrome — Clinical Characteristics, Ballooning Pattern, and Long-Term Follow-Up in a Swiss Population

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2009
BACKGROUND: Transient apical ballooning syndrome (TABS) or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimics acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, but is considered to have a good prognosis with only moderate elevation of myocardial enzymes and full recovery of left ...

Left ventricular apical ballooning

The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2006
Transient left ventricular apical ballooning is an acute cardiac syndrome characterised by an abrupt onset of chest pain and is usually associated with anterior electrocardiographic changes. The observed apical ballooning of the left ventricle is usually reversible and develops in the absence of significant atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Here

Transient Apical Ballooning

Cardiology in Review, 2007
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a unique acute cardiac syndrome characterized by typical ischemic chest symptoms, an elevated ST segment on the electrocardiogram, and elevated cardiac disease markers. It is often misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction.

[Left ventricular apical ballooning].

Deutsche medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2004
A 40-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man were admitted with acute chest pain indicative of an acute coronary syndrome.In addition to ECG changes suggestive of acute ischemia and a minor increase in the serum concentration of troponin-I both patients had a severely reduced left ventricular function with extensive apical akinesis on echocardiography (LV-

Haemodynamic Effects of Acute Intravenous Metoprolol in Apical Ballooning Syndrome With Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2010
Takotsubo syndrome, also called apical ballooning syndrome, is a clinical entity characterized by transient hypokinesis, akinesis, or dyskinesis of the left ventricular mid-segments with or without apical involvement, and without obstructive coronary ...

Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome: all that glitters is not apical

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007
Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome is a new entity in the field of acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary intervention. A 92-year-old patient presented with an intriguing, previously undescribed finding: the 'migrant' nature of the wall motion abnormalities, first involving the inferior wall and, subsequently, the apical ...

Transient apical ballooning accompanying respiratory infection

Acute Cardiac Care, 2012
We report the case of a 75-year-old man, referred for worsening dyspnea and fever. The electrocardiography (ECG) showed mild ST-elevation in anterior leads, while cardiac echography severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction with apical ballooning.

Transient Left Ventricular Apical Ballooning Syndrome

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2006
A 63-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia presented with substernal chest pain that extended to her back and was associated with profound weakness and shortness of breath. Physical examination revealed an anxious-appearing woman with tachycardia (pulse rate, 123 beats/min) and hypertension (blood ...
