“Once apical ballooning, always apical ballooning?”

International Journal of Cardiology, 2008
Abstract It is important that a cardiologist knows and recognizes the entity of takotsubo cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning, but remains aware that a subsequent similar episode is not necessarily a recurrence of this syndrome. Relapse may be caused by "classical” coronary atherosclerosis, as described in this case report.

Transient Apical Thickening Following Apical Ballooning Syndrome: A Case Series

Echocardiography, 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 ...

Transient apical ballooning syndrome — clinical characteristics, ballooning pattern, and long-term follow-up in a Swiss population

International 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 ...

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome: A systematic review

International Journal of Cardiology, 2008
BACKGROUND: Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome (TLVABS) is an acute cardiac syndrome mimicking ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction characterized by transient wall-motion abnormalities involving apical and mid-portions of the ...

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

[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-
