Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Mimicking ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Postpartum Woman [PDF]
Clinical Case ReportsTakotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as Gebrochenes‐Herz syndrome, transient apical ballooning syndrome, apical ballooning cardiomyopathy, stress‐induced cardiomyopathy, or broken heart syndrome, is a rare disease triggered by stressful events, such as a

[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 without apical ballooning [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2006 A 63-year-old woman presented with a sudden exacerbation of chronic obstructive lung disease and elevated levels of cardiac troponin T (0.5 ng/mL). The electrocardiogram exhibited sinus tachycardia, P-pulmonale, and diffuse T-wave inversion. The echocardiogram displayed markedly impaired left ventricular function.

Apical ballooning in relatives [PDF]
Heart, 2004 Apical ballooning of the left ventricle was first introduced as takotsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction in 1990 by Satoh and colleagues. The syndrome is characterised by reversible extensive akinesia of the apical and mid-portions of the left ventricle with hypercontraction of the basal segment. For the first time two sisters with this syndrome are

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 ...

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).

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 ...

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
