mid-ventricular variant of dobutamine-induced stress cardiomyopathy
conclusions the mechanism of mid-variant of dobutamine-induced stress cardiomyopathy remains unclear. we think that multiple mechanisms are involved and this risk should be considered in patients with comorbid psychiatric conditions and with use of centrally acting stimulants. case presentation we report a 48-year-old female with intermittent chest pain. her physical exam, cardiac enzymes and t...
متن کاملDobutamine stress echocardiography-induced broken heart syndrome (Takotsubo Syndrome).
We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography-induced Takotsubo syndrome in a 76-year-old hypertensive patient with clinical complaints of chest pain in an elective visit to the cardiologist. Dobutamine-stress-echocardiography was requested to rule out chest pain of coronary origin. During the test, at peak exercise, echocardiogram showed apical akinesia and electrocardiogram showed ST...
متن کاملDobutamine stress echo-induced apical ballooning (Takotsubo) syndrome.
AIMS We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) resulting in transient apical ballooning syndrome to highlight this rare condition as a potential complication of DSE. BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or transient apical ballooning syndrome, is a recently described form of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction induced by stress. Clinically it can mimic acute coronary syndrome...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ballooning syndrome) induced during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
A 75-year-old woman presented with left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome mimicking acute anterior myocardial infarction. She had a long history of chest tightness and was undergoing a contrast stress echocardiogram because of frequent re-admissions with chest pain, all with normal ECGs and troponins. A standard dobutamine/atropine protocol had been used. The patient developed central crus...
متن کامل[Transient mid-ventricular ballooning: a variant of Takotsubo syndrome].
In the majority of cases, Takotsubo syndrome is characterized by the fact that it presents in association with a situation of stress and shows clinical symptoms and electrocardiogram findings consistent with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and slightly elevated enzymes. Transient left ventricular apical ballooning is produced in this condition and recovers over several days or weeks. Takotsub...
متن کاملMid-Ventricular Variant of Dobutamine-Induced Stress Cardiomyopathy
INTRODUCTION Dobutamine stress testing is a commonly used modality in detecting and estimating the prognosis in coronary artery disease (CAD). Although it is well tolerated by most patients, adverse events have been reported. Rarely, transient wall motion abnormalities can occur in the absence of obstructive CAD to suggest stress cardiomyopathy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 48-year-old femal...
