Severe transient left ventricular dysfunction induced by thyrotoxicosis
We report on a 44-year-old woman presenting with chest pain and dyspnoea without previous stress-related events. By means of echocardiography severe left ventricular dysfunction and wall motion abnormalities resembling stress-induced cardiomyopathy (Tako Tsubo) were seen. Laboratory investigation revealed thyrotoxicosis and elevated cardiac markers. Six days after starting medical treatment, co...
متن کامل[Transient ventricular dysfunction (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy)].
The patient was a male with myasthenia gravis, hospitalized with acute respiratory failure due to decompensation of the underlying disease. He evolved with findings suggestive of acute myocardial infarction, with electrocardiographic and enzymatic alterations compatible with that diagnosis. The patient underwent emergency coronary angiography, which showed no severe coronary obstruction, althou...
متن کامل[Transient ventricular dysfunction after emotional stress].
We describe a patient who developed severe ventricular dysfunction and cardiogenic shock after intense emotional stress. Her subsequent course was favorable, with complete recovery of left ventricular systolic function. The coronary arteries were normal and no specific etiologic agent was demonstrated. Her clinical picture was compatible with transient left ventricular apical ballooning. [I123]...
متن کاملTransient ventricular dysfunction syndrome: the evolving nomenclature.
I thank Lippi and Targher for their kind remarks about my editorial in CHEST (February 2008),1 which describes “tricks of the trade” for assessing pulmonary embolism prognosis. They raise two important questions: (1) Should measurement of natriuretic peptides such as brain natriuretic peptide or pro-brain natriuretic peptide be incorporated into routine prognostic assessment of acute pulmonary ...
متن کاملVentricular Dysfunction: Tachycardia induced Cardiomyopathy
Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is defined as atrial or ventricular dysfunction as a result of prolonged elevated heart rate that is reversible upon control of the arrhythmia. There may be no underlying structural heart disease primarily responsible for the cardiac dysfunction. We present some examples of arrhythmias causing TIC and the resolution of the ventricular dysfunction followi...
