Basal wall hypercontraction of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient who had been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy: a case report
BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by the basal hypercontractility and apical ballooning of the left ventriculum and T-wave inversion in the electrocardiogram. It has been suggested that Takotsubo cardiomyopathy might underlie the pathogenesis of persistent cardiac dysfunction; however, few reports are present demonstrating the advent of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in patients wi...
متن کاملImages in cardiovascular medicine. No delayed enhancement on contrast magnetic resonance imaging with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
An 88-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of severe chest pain. The ECG in leads II, III, aVF, and V1 through V5 showed ST elevation (Figure 1). The creatinine kinase and creatinine kinase MB were 324 and 18 IU/L, respectively. Emergency coronary angiography revealed 75% stenosis of the high lateral branch, but left ventriculography confirmed the presence of severe apical balloo...
متن کاملTako-tsubo cardiomyopathy precipitated by pheochromocytoma crisis.
We report the case of a 69 year-old Chinese lady with pheochromocytoma who developed chest pain and acute ST-segment elevation in the anterior leads on electrocardiography. She was given intravenous phenoxybenzamine for alpha-blockade before undergoing urgent coronary angiography. This revealed minor coronary artery disease. Left ventriculogram demonstrated akinesis in the apex with hypercontra...
متن کاملThe value of myocardial perfusion imaging in differentiating between idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy from the ischemic form [Persian]
Introduction: Differentiating between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is important as coronary revascularization can improve prognosis in the ischemic subgroup. Due to inherent problems of coronary angiography in patients with depressed ejection fraction (EF) introducing a noninvasive tool to diagnose those who will benefit from angiography seems...
متن کاملA Case of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Possibly Induced by Cilostazol Administration
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient cardiac syndrome that involves left ventricular apical akinesis typically triggered by a significant emotional or physical stress. Here, we report a patient who presented with strong chest discomfort with left ventricular apical akinesis following cilostazol administration and was diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Sudden onset of the disease immedi...
