چکیده

Methods 21 patients, mean age 66 (range 41-87 years) with a clear diagnosis of TTC (14 with ST-elevation, 16 with apical ballooning ) and emotional trigger were prospectively studied. CMR-derived LV and RV volumes and EF, RV shapes, RV wall motion index (WMSI, 6-segment model) and Echocardiography derived Pulmonary artery pressure (Pap), tricuspid annular E’,A’,S’, pansystolic excursion (TAPSE) were measured acutely (day 0-3) and after 4 months follow-up.

Value of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients with Tako-Tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction.

We present gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in Tako-Tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction showing the findings in acute phase and in follow-up. Gadolinium-enhanced CMRI allows to distinguish between myocardial infarction and other myocardial alterations, e.g., myocarditis. CMRI may thus permit to non-invasively identify patients with Tako-Tsubo syndrome by ruling ...

Right Ventricular Involvement and Recovery After Acute Stress-Induced (Tako-tsubo) Cardiomyopathy.

Acute stress-induced (Tako-tsubo) cardiomyopathy is an increasingly recognized but insufficiently characterized syndrome. Here, we investigate the pathophysiology of right ventricular (RV) involvement in Tako-tsubo and its recovery time course. We prospectively recruited 31 patients with Tako-tsubo with predominantly ST-elevation electrocardiogram and 18 controls of similar gender, age, and co-...

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy after administration of ergometrine following elective caesarean delivery: a case report

INTRODUCTION Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (stress-induced cardiomyopathy or transient left ventricular ballooning) is characterized by clinical suspicion of an acute myocardial infarction with transient apical or midventricular dyskinesia of the left ventricle without significant coronary stenosis on angiography. The etiology of this disease remains obscure. One of the possible causes is myocardia...

Atypical form of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy.

A 22-year-old male smoker with no other cardiovascular risk factors presented within the first hours after a successful appendicectomy with severe acute chest pain accompanied by nausea. An ECG showed ST-segment elevation in leads I, VL, V2V4 and concurrent ST-depression in leads II, III, VF (Fig. 1). He was immediately transferred to the CCU where chest pain was relieved after nitrate therapy....
