Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following blunt trauma: Early recognition and diagnosis
Background: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterized by reversible left ventricular apical ballooning in the absence of angiographically significant coronary artery disease. While TTC is usually preceded by an emotionally stressful event, physical

Neurogenic Stunned Myocardium Associated with Acute Spinal Cord Infarction: A Case Report
Introduction. Neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM) is a reversible cardiomyopathy resulting in transient left ventricular apical ballooning presumed to result from catecholamine surge occurring under physiologic stress.

A variant form of acute reversible cardiomyopathy: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Stress cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or left ventricular apical ballooning, has been linked to emotional or physical stress resulting in transient left ventricular dysfunction. It typically affects the mid and apical

A rare manifestation of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy associated with non-tuberculous mycobacterium
Background: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome is a rare cause of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy that produce left ventricular dysfunction with characteristic left ventricular apical ballooning. It rarely caused by infection.

Transient Left Ventricular Apical Ballooning [PDF]
A 69-year-old woman presented with acute onset of chest pain and diffuse ST-segment elevation suggesting ischemia (Figure 1). The creatine phosphokinase–MB was elevated, and in view of ongoing chest discomfort, she was referred for urgent cardiac catheterization. Figure 1. Twelve-lead ECG showing normal sinus …

Clinical outcomes associated with catecholamine use in patients diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Recent hypotheses have suggested the pathophysiological role of catecholamines in the evolution of the Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). The extent of cardiac and circulatory compromise dictates the use of some form of supportive therapy.

Apical ballooning syndrome (Takotsubo Syndrome): case report
The apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is a single reversible cardiomyopathy often triggered by a stressful event. We aimed to present a case report regarding this disorder.Here we present the case of a 77-year-old female hypertensive patient, sedentary and non-smoker, diagnosed with apical ballooning syndrome. We describe the clinical signs and symptoms,

This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...
