Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTTC) is a less frequent variant of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) with several differences about epidemiology and clinical aspects. While left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is relatively frequent in TTC patients, this complication has not been reported ...
More than 2/3 of available donor hearts are discarded, with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) being one of the most common causes of rejecting potential donors. Catecholamine surge and sympathetic stimulation underlie the myocardial injury, similar to patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS),...
Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathyMyocardial perfusion scintigraphyExtent scoreTc-99m sestamibi uptake was reduced in hypokinetic regions in the acute phase and improved in the chronic phase. TTC and rTTC may involve a reversible disorder of the myocardial cell membrane, mitochondria, and microcirculation....
Objective We describe a case of stress cardiomyopathy in a patient following acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage that showed an "inverse" or reverse takotsubo pattern on echocardiography. Case Report The patient was a 46-year-old female who presented with acute cardiogenic shock following acut...
Objective: We describe a case of stress cardiomyopathy in a patient following acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage that showed an " inverse" or reverse takotsubo pattern on echocardiography. Case Report: The patient was a 46-year-old female who presented with acute cardiogenic shock following ...
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute but often reversible left ventricular dysfunction commonly triggered by emotional stress. There are multiple variants within the general condition; however, reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare variant of stress-induced cardiomyopathy affecting the basilar segment of...
Background Acute brain injury with strong surges of adrenergic outflow has resulted in takotsubo cardiomyopathy, but there are surprisingly few reports of takotsubo cardiomyopathy after intracranial hemorrhage, and none have been described from hemorrhage within the brainstem.Results We describe a patient ...
(2010) Reverse or in- verted takotsubo cardiomyopathy (reverse left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome) presents at a younger age compared with the mid or apical variant and is always associated with triggering stress. Congestive Heart Fail- ure, 16, 284-286. doi:10.1111/j.1751-7133.2010.001...
Takotsubo, or stress cardiomyopathy (SC), is described as a transient systolic dysfunction of the apical segments of the left ventricle mainly triggered by emotional or physical stress resembling the presentation of an acute coronary syndrome in the absence of obstructive c...
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 ...
