The patient experienced significant psychophysical stress during pacemaker implantation due to fear of operation. Acute lung edema occurred four hours after permanent pacemaker implantation. Coronary angiography showed no significant coronary artery stenosis and left ventriculography revealed typical...

An 83 year old woman presented to the emergency department with chest pain and dyspnoea. Chest radiography showed pneumothorax of the left lung. Arteries were normal on coronary angiography. Left ventriculography showed asynergy of apical akinesis and basal hyperkinesis. Within 18 days, the asynergy improved without any specific treatment. In the present case the left ventricular dysfunction ma...
متن کاملPacemaker-induced takotsubo cardiomyopathy
Introduction Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a form of acute cardiomyopathy showing left ventricular apical ballooning. Whilst the exact mechanism of TCM remains unknown, it is hypothesized that an excess of circulatory catecholamine's to an exaggerated sympathetic from an intense physical or emotional distress as the cause. We report the rare case of a 76-year-old woman who developed TCM aft...
