Background. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as stress cardiomyopathy and "broken heart syndrome," is a sudden, transient cardiac syndrome that involves dramatic left ventricular apical akinesis and mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It was first described in Japan in 1990 by Sato et al.
The implications of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy diagnosis in patients with cancer. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy occurrence in patients with cancer and survivors often carries significant implications. For instance, TC is a common mimic of ACS and was shown to account for up to 10% of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction presentation in cancer
Background Dyspnea is a common symptom in patients presenting to the emergency department. It has a variety of causes that range from non-urgent to life-threatening. One episode of dyspnea in a healthy young person is easy to overlook. However, if the symptoms occur after physically or emotionally stressful events, careful evaluation needs to be undertaken because it may be associated with
Is an important differential diagnosis in patients with acute chest pain Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (also called stress induced cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning, or broken heart syndrome) was first described in Japan 20 years ago.1 It is characterised by acute, reversible left ventricular dysfunction in a characteristic distribution, which does not correlate with the epicardial coronary artery
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy—also called stress cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning syndrome, or broken heart syndrome—is a condition in which left ventricular (LV) dilatation and acute systolic heart failure occur, typically following an emotional or physical stressor. Ballooning of the LV occurs, most commonly in the apex (75-80%) or
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a disorder that mimics acute coronary syndrome. MRI can show not only edema in the ventricular wall, which is diffuse and without arterial territory distribution, but also motion abnormalities with typical akinesis in the apical and mid planes. Moreover, MRI can detect potential complications such as obstruction of
Introduction. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is defined by a temporary and reversible systolic abnormality of the left ventricle's apical area resembling myocardial infarction (MI) in the nonexistence of coronary artery disease (CAD) [ 1 ]. This clinical entity was initially described approximately 25 years ago [ 2 ].
The diagnosis of Takotsubo syndrome is made based on clinical presentation, ECG, biomarker, imaging and coronary angiography. There is a lack of diagnostic biomarkers that can discriminate patients with Takotsubo syndrome from those with acute myocardial
The prevalence of stress cardiomyopathy among patients with symptoms suggestive of myocardial infarction is 0.7–2.5%, and it is found predominantly in postmenopausal women (90%). 3,14,15 The
Takotsubo (TK) cardiomyopathy, also called apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome, or stress cardiomyopathy, is generally characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and/or mid segments of the left ventricle that mimics myocardial infarction, but in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). 1–5 In the acute phase, the clinical presentation
The combined stress of MC and TC can have fatal. Myasthenic crisis can induce Takotsubo cardiomyopathy leading to transient systolic and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and wall-motion
First, it should be stressed that takotsubo cardiomyopathy is rarely fatal. As with other cardiomyopathies (disease of the heart muscle), most people recover within a couple of months without long
Background. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) – also known as broken-heart syndrome, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and stress-induced cardiomyopathy – is a recently discovered acute cardiac disease first described in Japan in 1991. 1 TTS has a clinical presentation with chest pain, ischaemic electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, and elevation of
Pheochromocytoma and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The presence of pheochromocytoma is a criterion for exclusion of TCMP. However, heochromocytoma can present with cardiac manifestations similar to TCMP, due to a surge of catecholamines. 5 The first case resembling TCMP was described in a patient with pheochromocytoma. 6 Hence, pheochromocytoma must always be ruled out in patients presenting a
