Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (apical ballooning) [PDF]

Heart, 2007
In recent years, a new cardiac syndrome with transient left ventricular dysfunction has been described in Japanese patients. This new entity has been referred to as “tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy” or “apical ballooning”, named for the particular shape of the end-systolic left ventricle in ventriculography.1 To date, tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy has also been ...

Refractory cardiogenic shock in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complicated by apical ballooning: A case report. [PDF]

J Int Med Res
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be accompanied by dynamic obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract and acute apical ballooning, which are among the very rare causes of cardiogenic shock. This condition requires a specific treatment approach that

Takotsubo Syndrome with Complete Heart Block and Cardiogenic Shock

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
This report describes a 62-year-old postmenopausal female patient who presented with cardiogenic shock, wide QRS complete heart block (CHB), left ventricular apical ballooning with severe systolic dysfunction, and normal coronary angiogram. She underwent

Apical-ballooning syndrome [PDF]

The Lancet, 2007
Case presentation: A 60-year-old woman presented to the emergency department 2 hours after the onset of severe retrosternal chest pain that started soon after she was told that her son had died in a car accident. A 12-lead ECG demonstrated ST-elevation in the precordial leads (Figure 1), and the plasma troponin T level was elevated at 0.07 ng/mL.

Oral anticoagulation in high risk Takotsubo syndrome: when should it be considered and when not?

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
Standard pharmacological therapy in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is still debated and there is a lack of prospective data. In their recent work in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders Abanador-Kamper et al. found that stroke in TTS has an event rate of 2.8% after 30

Two Cases of Apical Ballooning Syndrome Masking Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Texas Heart Institute Journal, 2014
Apical akinesis and dilation in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease is a typical feature of stress-induced (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy, whereas apical hypertrophy is seen in apical-variant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We report the cases of 2 patients who presented with takotsubo cardiomyopathy and were subsequently found to have apical ...

Too Much Stress- A Rare Case of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020
Takotsubo syndrome is a reversible, stress-induced transient systolic and diastolic dysfunction. It was first described as a characteristic ballooning of left ventricular apex which closely resembles a Japanese fishing pot.
