Transient Left Ventricular Apical Ballooning

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2005
The magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of transient left ventricular apical ballooning are described in this report, and the features that distinguish it from acute myocardial infarction are emphasized.

“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.

[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-

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.

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 ...

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 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.
