Apical Ballooning Syndrome: A Complication of Dual Chamber Pacemaker Implantation
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2009 Apical ballooning is a cardiac syndrome (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy) described as a typical form of acute transient left ventricular dysfunction. While its onset has often been associated with emotionally or physically stressful situations, it has an ...

Apical ballooning syndrome complicated by acute severe mitral regurgitation with left ventricular outflow obstruction – Case report [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2007 Background Apical ballooning syndrome (or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is a syndrome of transient left ventricular apical ballooning. Although first described in Japanese patients, it is now well reported in the Caucasian population. The syndrome mimicks an

Apical ballooning syndrome (Takotsubo Syndrome): case report [PDF]
International Archives of Medicine, 2013 The apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is a single reversible cardiomyopathy often triggered by a stressful event. We aimed to present a case report regarding this disorder.Here we present the case of a 77-year-old female hypertensive patient, sedentary and non-smoker, diagnosed with apical ballooning syndrome. We describe the clinical signs and symptoms,

Apical Ballooning Syndrome (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy) after Permanent Dual-Chamber Pacemaker Implantation [PDF]
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2012 Apical ballooning syndrome, also called takotsubo cardiomyopathy, has been recently reported. It may mimic acute myocardial infarction and is typically observed in postmenopausal women after stressful events.

Apical ballooning syndrome: a metabolic form of cardiomyopathy?
Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2008 Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient cardiomyopathy of unknown origin due to left ventricular apical ballooning. Although first described in Japanese patients, it is now diagnosed worldwide. The syndrome mimics acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the absence of significant epicardial coronary artery disease. Although significant efforts have

[Apical ballooning syndrome, case series]. [PDF]
Laeknabladid, 2008 Apical ballooning syndrome is a cardiac syndrome typically characterized by transient focal dyskinesia or akinesia of the mid and apical regions of the left ventricle and hyperkinesia of the basal region. The symptoms and signs of the patient mimic myocardial infarction, with chest pain, electrocardiographic changes and elevation of cardiac enzymes but

Apical ballooning in takotsubo cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2008 Stress-induced takotsubo cardiomyopathy exhibiting transient left ventricular apical ballooning with chest symptoms, electrocardiogram changes and minimal myocardial enzymatic release has become accepted worldwide as a distinct clinical entity. The present paper describes three patients who underwent left ventriculography because of chest symptoms ...
