In typical "apical" Tako-Tsubo syndrome (TTS), an association between dynamic T-wave inversion/QTc interval prolongation and myocardial edema as evidenced by cardiac magnetic resonance has been reported. We describe a patient with atypical "mid-ventricular" TTS who showed T-waves inversion/QTc
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) presenting as an acute myocardial dysfunction is characterized by transient left ventricular wall motion abnormality, which has been known to be associated with excessive catecholamine production caused due to various types of stress. Sympathetic hyperactivity is
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute syndrome involving apical ballooning and consequent dysfunction of the left ventricle. Most cases of left ventricular dysfunction resolve within 1 month. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman who developed severe heart failure caused by takotsubo
BACKGROUND
Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) presents with chest pain, ST-segment elevation followed by T-wave inversion and QT interval prolongation (Wellens' electrocardiographic [ECG] pattern), and left ventricular dysfunction, which may mimic an acute coronary syndrome.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the
BACKGROUND
Stress cardiomyopathy is a condition of chest pain, breathlessness, abnormal heart rhythms and sometimes congestive heart failure or shock precipitated by intense mental or physical stress.
METHODS
A 64-year-old male with a known diagnosis of moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis and advised
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) and neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) are rare complications of an acute ischemic stroke. In particular, TCM and NPE, following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are extremely rare. In general, TCM- and NPE-associated ischemic strokes are caused by excess A 79-year-old man presented with left hemiparesis and disturbance of consciousness. Brain magnetic resonance(MR)imaging revealed an infarction in the right insular cortex. MR angiography showed a defect in the inferior trunk of the right middle cerebral artery. The patient was treated with alteplase
We investigated if myocardial edema is a feature of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). Seven TTC patients in the acute phase were studied using cine, T2 and late enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). A transmural area of high T2 signal was visible involving the mid-anterior wall and
Here, we present a case of dorsal medulla oblongata hemangioblastoma with fourth ventricular hemorrhage. A 23-year-old female developed sudden consciousness disturbance, and CT revealed hemorrhage in all cerebral ventricles and a hyperdense mass in the cisterna magna. Although the reddish tumor
