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 (Takotsubo Syndrome): case report

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 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 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, case series].

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 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

Encasement of the left anterior descending coronary artery: association with Takotsubo syndrome, and diagnostic and therapeutic options

Global Cardiology, 2023
Myocardial bridging is a rare event, which leads to chest pain, arrhythmias and discussable Takotsubo syndrome (cardiomyopathy). We enrolled 41 patients (33 females, mean age 68.4 years), the majority of whom had Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in any form ...

Apical thrombus associated with left ventricular apical ballooning [PDF]

Heart, 2003
A 64 year old woman under antidepressant treatment, but with no coronary risk factors, was admitted to our institution with a two day history of continuous atypical chest pain. The ECG showed pronounced ST segment elevation in leads II, III, aVF and V2–V6 (panel A).
