Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a clinical condition of transient acute heart failure correlated to regional wall motion abnormalities extending beyond the distribution of a single epicardial coronary artery. It is classified into four major types: apical, basal, mid-ventricular and focal. Sympathetic nerve stimulation and catecholamine storm are the

Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Takotsubo Syndrome: How to Deal With Left Ventricular Ballooning? [PDF]
Currently, there are 2 proposed causes of acute left ventricular ballooning. The first is the most cited hypothesis that ballooning is caused by direct catecholamine toxicity on cardiomyocytes or by microvascular ischemia.
