Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy with use of male enhancers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare heart failure condition characterized by systolic dysfunction of the basal segments of the left ventricle in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. We present a case of a 54-year-old man with an overdose of Extenze (a male enhancer pill containing yohimbine) who was hospitalized with heart failure due to reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Case Presentation A 53-year-old Chinese male underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography for evaluation of chest pain. He had a background history of previously treated pulmonary tuberculosis and depression. Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was normal. At peak intravenous dobutamine infusion of 40 mcg/kg/min, he developed retrosternal chest tightness and his systolic blood pr...
متن کاملReverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy: after an episode of serotonin syndrome.
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, usually followed by complete resolution. It is precipitated by severe stress, and the most common variant (takotsubo) is marked by apical hypokinesis and ballooning with basal hyperkinesis. Serotonin syndrome is best understood as excess serotonergic activity in the central and peripheral nervous system. T...

A 62-year-old woman undergoing embolization of recurrent neuroendocrine tumor, positive for serotonin, developed chest pain and bradycardia with lateral ST-segment depression. Cardiac biomarkers were elevated, and echocardiography revealed akinesis of all basal segments with a normally contracting apex. The absence of flow-limiting coronary disease on angiography confirmed the presence of rever...
متن کاملTransient Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Following a Spider Bite in Greece
Black widow spider is endemic in the Mediterranean area and although envenomations are rare, may occasionally lead to death. We present a case of a 64-year-old female developing a rare variant of takotsubo, stress-induced, cardiomyopathy after a spider bite. This resulted in acute heart failure within 24 hours of the bite. With medical treatment and supportive care, the patient's clinical cond...
