Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome: all that glitters is not apical
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007Transient 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 ...

"Apical ballooning" - what is the cause?
The Journal of invasive cardiology, 2009The pathophysiology of takotsubo cardiomyopathy remains enigmatic. Here we attempted to define the link between the coronary arteries and the histopathological involvement of the left ventricle. We observed similarities and discrepancies between patients. All patients experienced stress prior to the event.

Apical ballooning syndrome precipitated by hyponatremia
International Journal of Cardiology, 2010Apical Ballooning Syndrome is a transient cardiomyopathy that mimics an acute myocardial infarction. It is predominantly seen in postmenopausal women and is often triggered by an emotional or physical stressful event. The pathophysiology remains to be established, but a surge in catecholamines may be an important factor.
