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...

Introduction: Tako–Tsubo cardiomyopathy has been reported in Japan and is characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning and reversible LV asynergy in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. This syndrome usually presents clinically as acute myocardial infarction (MI). However, in contrast to acute MI, Tako–Tsubo cardiomyopathy has a benign outcome with full reco...

Tako Tsubo cardiomyopathy is rare, stress related and indistinguishable from acute myocardial infarction clinically. Proper diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary thrombolysis and life long management of coronary artery disease.

We present a case of "inverted Tako-Tsubo" syndrome in a woman sedated with meperidine before undergoing a colonscopy. We discuss possible etiology of this ventricular dysfunction.

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, known since 1990, is described as hypo/akinesis of apical heart segments with the hyperkinesis of the basis of the heart which mimics the shape of a traditional Japanese octopus trap.

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (transient left ventricular apical ballooning) is a reversible form of cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology. Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is typically precipitated by sudden emotional or physical stress, and is associated with excessive sympathetic stimulation and catecholamine release. Its clinical presentation is similar to that of acute coronary syndrome. The diagn...
