Takotsubo syndrome related to antazoline mesylate administration during atrial fibrillation cryoablation: rapid evolution of ST-segment elevations alternans and extensive left ventricular hypokinesis

Folia Cardiologica
Takotsubo syndrome is a stress-induced acute heart failure type, with its pathogenesis particularly attributed to sympathetic stimulation. In this paper, we report the case of a 62-year-old man who developed takotsubo syndrome following the ...

Assessment with intracoronary pressure and flow guidewire, at baseline and after intracoronary adenosine infusion, in a patient with Takotsubo syndrome

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2019
We present the case of a patient with Takotsubo syndrome assessed by intracoronary flow and pressure guidewire, showing elevation of intracoronary pressures at the level of the anterior descending artery, and thus demonstrating a new therapeutic target ...

Low MMP-8/TIMP-1 reflects left ventricle impairment in takotsubo cardiomyopathy and high TIM P-1 may help to differentiate it from acute coronary syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Background Matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) is the most potent type-I collagen protease. Such collagen mainly constitutes the transient fibrosis in takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) endomyocardial biopsies.

Intraoperative Takotsubo Syndrome

Journal of Medical Cases
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare condition that presents a diagnostic challenge due to its close resemblance to acute myocardial ischemia and other cardiac disorders. The excessive production of catecholamines triggers abnormal and severe changes in the myocardium, typically resulting in significant dyskinesia of the left ventricle's apex, reduced ...

Serum Metabolomic Analysis Suggests Impairment of Myocardial Energy Production in Takotsubo Syndrome

Metabolites, 2021
Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome is a complex entity that, although it usually has a good prognosis, can be life threatening. While recent advances have improved the knowledge of takotsubo syndrome, many aspects of its etiology still remain uncertain ...

Acute myocardial infarction or Takotsubo syndrome in a patient with stunned myocardium due to myocardial bridging? A case report of diagnostic dilemma clarified after serial workup

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Myocardial bridging is a cardiac anomaly where a segment of epicardial coronary arteries runs through the myocardium and can rarely cause MI. Takotsubo syndrome is a stress-induced cardiomyopathy that can mimic MI.

A variant form of acute reversible cardiomyopathy: a case report [PDF]

, 2008
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

Subarachnoid hemorrhage with Takotsubo syndrome as the prominent manifestation: A case and literature review

Heliyon
Background: Takotsubo syndrome, which is often induced by physical or psychological stress, is typically a cardiac syndrome with transient left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease.
