Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is categorized as unclassified cardiomyopathy by the American and European Heart Association [ 1 ]. Per definition, TTS is a reversible condition triggered by stress. Occasionally, akin
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute, reversible cardiomyopathy. The central autonomic nervous system (ANS) is believed to play a role in this disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the patterns of brain functional connectivity in a sample of patients who had experienced a pr...
Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition that's often brought on by stressful situations and extreme emotions. The condition can also be triggered by aserious physical illness or surgery. It may also be called stress cardiomyopathy, takotsubo cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome. H...
The patient's new onset of chest pain, moderate troponin elevation, and normal coronary angiogram findings ultimately resulted in the diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). Subsequent to her symptoms improving, the conditions of low ejection fraction and apical akinesia were entirely resolved....
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Definition, Symptoms & Causes from Chapter 26 / Lesson 25 1.5K This lesson will explore takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a condition which has been called 'broken-heart syndrome' because of its connection with deeply felt personal losses. Here we explore the causes, symptoms, ...
Involving apical akinesis of the left ventricle, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rarely encountered cardiac syndrome. Cases of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy may present with symptoms characteristic of acute myocardial infarction, such as chest pain, modifications to the S-T segment, and increased cardiac enzyme...
How is Takotsubo cardiomyopathy diagnosed? Does cardiomyopathy cause high blood pressure? What is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? Is pneumothorax the same as pneumonia? What is transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy? Does cardiomyopathy cause shortness of breath?
Myocardial edema, a key feature in takotsubo syndrome (TTS), is capable of affecting the shape and performance of the myocardium. A primary goal of this study is to portray the relationships between the abnormalities in oedema, mechanics, and electrical properties in the context of TTS.The ...
At a primary care facility in Colombia, a 69-year-old female patient's clinical presentation led to an Achenbach syndrome diagnosis. Takotsubo syndrome is defined by the presence of transient regional left ventricular wall motion abnormalities and elevated troponin levels, which parallel classic ...
(A to C) Graphs representing single CMs isolated from 1 individual rat, distributed into the 3 corresponding experimental conditions; 30 to 40 CMs were measured per condition. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments. (D to F) Graphs representing single CMs isolated from 1 individual ...
