Apical ballooning syndrome (Tako-Tsubo or stress cardiomyopathy): a mimic of acute myocardial infarction.
Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is a unique reversible cardiomyopathy that is frequently precipitated by a stressful event and has a clinical presentation that is indistinguishable from a myocardial infarction. We review the best evidence regarding the pathophysiology, clinical features, investigation, and management of ABS. The incidence of ABS is estimated to be 1% to 2% of patients presenti...
متن کاملTako-tsubo cardiomyopathy
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (transient left ventricular apical ballooning) is a reversible form of cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology. Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is typically precipitated by sudden emotional or physical stress, and is associated with excessive sympathetic stimulation and catecholamine release. Its clinical presentation is similar to that of acute coronary syndrome. The diagn...

compared with inotropic agents, to prevent the development of significant intraventricular gradients and subsequent hemodynamic deterioration. A word of caution should be added—in patients with cardiogenic shock associated with LVOTO, inotropic agents, vasodilators, and diuretic agents, as well as intraaortic balloon counterpulsation may lead to worsening of shock and worse outcomes (4–6). Ball...
متن کاملTako-tsubo cardiomyopathy complicated by QRS prolongation.
A 68-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to sudden onset of dyspnea. On admission, electrocardiogram (ECG) showed T-wave inversion and QRS prolongation (120 msec) that were not found in her previous ECG. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary edema and cardiac enlargement. Left ventriculogram showed akinesis of the left ventricle except in the basal region. No significant coronary stenosis wa...
متن کاملRight Ventricle Involvement in Tako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy.
We appreciate the kind comments of Dr. SanchezGomar and colleagues about our meta-analysis of left atrial (LA) size in athletes (1) as well as their novel use of cardiac magnetic resonance to assess LA volume more accurately in older former elite endurance athletes. Their results suggest that LA size adjusted for body surface area is almost 50% (58 14 ml/m vs. 39 14 ml/m) greater in their athle...
