This corrects the article "Combination therapy of liothyronine and levothyroxine for hypothyroidism-induced dilated cardiomyopathy" on page 144.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as stress-induced is a temporary left ventricular dysfunction caused by catecholamine surge under severe stress. It's characterized chest pain, non-specific ECG changes, and apical ballooning observed during catheterization. We present case of 59-year-old postmenopausal female with past medical history asthma who arrived at the ED complaining pain following ...

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 to be...

Introduction Primary or idiopathic cardiomyopathy is a term used for a variety of conditions affecting the heart of both animals and man with no clearly identified cause. Although the term secondary cardiomyopathy has been used with specific causative factors such as ischemic cardiomyopathy, drug induced cardiomyopathy, toxic cardiomyopathy or infectious agent induced cardiomyopathy, recent cla...

Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by left ventricle apex and mid ventricle wall-motion abnormalities in the absence of coronary artery stenosis. Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is very rare in children. Pheochromocytoma is one of the most important causes of this contractile pattern. Herein we report the case of catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy in a child with parag...

Arrhythmia induced cardiomyopathy is a condition characterised by either a tachyarrhythmia (also known as a tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy or tachycardiomyopathy) or frequent ventricular ectopy (also known as ectopy induced cardiomyopathy) that results in left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure. In addition, the dysfunction is partially or completely reversible once control of the ta...

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection, with septic cardiomyopathy being common and severe complication. Despite its significant clinical impact, the molecular mechanisms underlying sepsis-induced (SICM) remain incompletely understood. In this study, we performed comparative analysis of whole transcriptome profiles using RNA sequencing i...

Sustained chronic tachyarrhythmias often cause a deterioration of cardiac function known as tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy or tachycardiomyopathy.The incidence of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is unknown, but in selected studies of patients with atrial fibrillation, approximately 25% to 50% of those with left ventricular dysfunction had some degree of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy...
