Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The diagnosis of stress-induced cardiomyopathy requires wall motion abnormality, most typically apical ballooning. The authors report 3 cases of transient global left ventricular systolic dysfunction that developed over the course of severe medical illnesses. The cardiomyopathy that developed in each patient had all the features of takotsubo cardiomyopathy, including reversibility, mild troponin elevation, nonspecific electrocardiographic abnormalities, and a negative work-up for ischemia. The only difference was the absence of regional wall motion abnormalities. No patients developed sepsis or myocarditis. Stress-induced cardiomyopathy may present in different forms, including regional or global left ventricular dysfunction. Classic takotsubo syndrome may represent only part of the spectrum of this reversible condition. |
