Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: an uncommon cause of reversible heart failure.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is increasingly being diagnosed as a cause of acute coronary syndrome in postmenopausal women. It may also present as reversible acute left heart failure with an excellent prognosis for recovery. Although rare, it may be an underdiagnosed condition in the medical intensive care units among patients admitted with non-cardiac acute conditions. Therefore, intensivists must...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy: a clinical review.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a reversible cardiomyopathy which has increasingly been recognized in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. It is characterized by transient systolic ventricular dysfunction with regional wall motion abnormalities beyond a single vascular territory and in the absence of significant epicardial coronary artery obstruction. Ofte...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy – a clinical review
Stress cardiomyopathy is characterised by reversible left ventricular dysfunction. It simulates an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), presenting with precordial pain or dyspnoea, changes of the ST segment, T wave, or QTc interval on electrocardiogram, and raised cardiac enzymes. Typical findings are disturbances of segmental contractility (apical hypokinesia or akinesia), with normal epicardial cor...
متن کاملClinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) (also known as apical ballooning syndrome or stress-induced transient left ventricular dysfunction) is a recently recognised condition which closely mimics the presentation of acute coronary syndrome. It is characterised by acute but rapidly reversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the absence of obstructive coronary disease. TC was first described in a case...
متن کاملEpidemiology and clinical profile of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
First described in Japan over 2 decades ago, takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has emerged as a unique cardiomyopathy with world-wide recognition, mimicking acute coronary syndrome. In early TTC experience, typical patients were older women, with a triggering emotional event, ST-segment elevation, and apical ballooning left ventricular (LV) contraction pattern. However, TTC is now more heterogeneo...
