CASE REPORT Human stress cardiomyopathy mimicking acute myocardial syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of transient acute cardiomyopathy occurring in the immediate aftermath of intense emotional stress and without any identified aetiology are described. These two case reports,mimicking cases of acute cardiomyopathy described in patients with pheochromocytoma, suggest the possibility in man of acute catecholamine induced cardiomyopathy related to major emotional stress alone, a phenomenon so far reported only in animal experimental models.

A Unique Case Of Recurrent Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy- Atypical Followed By Typical Variant
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC), synonymous with apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome, stress induced/ ampulla cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction of apical ( typical) or mid segments (atypical), mimicking acute myocardial infarction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease . We report a rare case of recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopath...

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (also called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning, or broken heart syndrome) was first reported in 1991 as “myocardial stunning due to simultaneous multivessel coronary spasms: a review of 5 cases” by Japanese doctors, and is well known disease entity now. This disease primarily affects postmenopausal women after psychological or physical stress. Clinical ch...
متن کاملCardiomyopathies: The Value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Pheochromocytoma is rare and has been documented to present atypically as myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure. In patients with pheochromocytoma, transient cardiomyopathy with hypokinesia of the basal segments of the left ventricle and hyperkinesia of the apex (an inverted Takotsubo contractile pattern) can be observed [5] . Patients with elevated cardiac biomarkers an...
متن کاملTako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy Triggered by Misdirection
Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a novel reversible cardiomyopathy mimicking acute myocardial infarction without epicardial coronary artery disease. The exact physiopathology of TTC remains unclear. It is usually precipitated by acute physical or emotional stress and it most commonly affects...
متن کاملA rare case of concomitant stress (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy and acute myocardial infarction.
Stress cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction are generally regarded as mutually exclusive diagnoses. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with acute chest pain. Her echocardiogram and ventriculography were typical of stress cardiomyopathy, but she had one subocclusive coronary lesion, a highly significant rise in troponin and a subendocardial myocardial infarction scar doc...
