Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimics acute myocardial infarction in its presentation and has a recognized recurrence rate. 1, 2 So far, the literature focused on the re-occurrence of the syndrome in populations without particular attention to the number of recurrences in a certain individual. We, hereby, present a case of a patient having three

Takotsubo (stress-induced) cardiomyopathy (TC) is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, with distinct regional wall-motion abnormalities, that is not due to obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). 1 Although TC has been recognized for over 3 decades, 2 our understanding of this unique disease is still evolving.
Introduction. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by a transient ventricular dysfunction. Patients have symptoms mimicking an acute coronary syndrome. 1, 2 Despite the transient character of TTS, a significant number of adverse events has been reported. 3 Mainly in the short‐term phase of TTS, patients are experiencing arrhythmias, including sudden cardiac death, 4, 5, 6 cardiogenic
COVID-19 infection can lead to a number of cardiovascular sequelae, including heart failure, which may portend worse clinical outcomes. Here, we report a rare case of a 57-year-old woman who developed acute left ventricular systolic dysfunction with apical ballooning consistent with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), and mixed cardiogenic and
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute myocardial disease characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction, in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, caused by adrenergic overactivity and associated with non-negligible morbidity and mortality. Takotsubo syndrome, by far more frequent in women, who account for 9 out of 10
“Broken heart syndrome,” or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is on the rise in the United States. Middle-aged and older women account for nearly 90% of all cases. Cases of broken heart syndrome were
Takotsubo syndrome is a condition characterized by acute transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which at presentation can be challenging to distinguish from acute myocardial infarction. Although previously thought to be a benign, self-limiting condition, recent studies have confirmed that patients with takotsubo syndrome have
Introduction. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) was first described in 1990 and has been increasingly recognized in clinical practice. 1 Labeled variably as apical‐ballooning syndrome, stress cardiomyopathy, and broken‐heart syndrome, TTC is characterized by transient regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction without obstructive coronary artery disease, precipitated by emotional and
Takotsubo syndrome derived its name from the Japanese word for octopus trap, due to the shape of the LV at the end of systole and has been described under a remarkable number of different names in the literature including ‘broken heart syndrome’, ‘stress cardiomyopathy’, and ‘apical ballooning syndrome’. 8 No single term precisely
The mechanism of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS) is still elusive, but there are several etiological theories, such as catecholamine-induced acute myocardial injury, vasospasm (epicardial coronary and/or microvascular), impairment of the coronary microcirculation, and myocardial stunning.123 Due to its predominance in postmenopausal females, it
Reverse takotsubo, a variant form of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in which the basal and midventricular segments of the left ventricle are akinetic, occurs in a minority of patients [ 1 ]. The majority of takotsubo cardiomyopathy patients recover cardiac function within three to six months. We present the case of two patients who had reversible
Background The precise clinical features and etiologic basis of Takotsubo syndrome remain unclear, although an association with emotional or stressful triggers has been recognized. Ventricular septal perforation is a very rare life-threatening complication. Case presentation A 77-year-old female patient presented to the hospital with unrelieved chest tightness and shortness of breath. Three
BACKGROUND While takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare cardiomyopathy, recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTC) is even more so, occurring in only 4% of patients with TC. Treatment is based on expert opinion and includes standard heart failure treatment using beta blockers (BB) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI).
Stress cardiomyopathy is a condition in which intense emotional or physical stress can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness. The pattern of left ventricular dysfunction was first described in Japan and has been referred to as “tako‐tsubo cardiomyopathy,” 1 named after the fishing pot with a narrow neck and wide base that is used to trap octopus.
