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

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 ...

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 ...
