Sato et al. first described Takotsubo-like left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in 1990.1 The name of this syndrome comes from the Japanese for octopus fishing pot, and it has become familiar among Japanese physicians. It is also known as transient LV apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome or ampulla-shaped cardiomyopathy, but nowadays most cardiologists refer to this phenomenon as…

In this case report, we present a patient with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) that followed grand mal epileptic seizures. TC is a stress-induced, reversible heart disease with unique clinical, two-dimensional echocardiographic and prognostic features that differ from other cardiomyopathies.
Case Report
A 50-year-old woman with grand mal epilepsy was brought to the emergency department in a state…

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) or syndrome was first described more than 2 decades ago by Dote and colleagues in Japan, but has since been increasingly recognised around the world.1 Takotsubo is the Japanese name for a the traditional octopus trapping pot that has a round bottom and narrow neck, resembling the appearance the left ventricle during the acute presentation (see Figure 1).2 Although,…

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome,1 is a reversible, stress-induced cardiomyopathy that predominantly affects post-menopausal, elderly women during emotional or physical stress.1,2 Although it is an increasingly recognized and reported syndrome, the syndrome remains uncommon, occurring in <1% of patients referred for coronary…

The association of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and intracerebral, particularly aneurysmal, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a well-known phenomenon. ECG alterations are observed in 50-100% of patients during the acute stage of SAH.1-3 Frequently, these effects are clinically not important. Some SAH patients, however, have structural cardiac damage with elevation of creatine kinase…

Takotsubo syndrome is an acute reversible heart failure syndrome, which is increasingly recognised by coronary angiography for patients with acute ‘cardiac’ chest pain.1 It is a distinct disease entity from acute coronary syndrome, although the initial presentation has similar features to either ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Early…

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transient form of acute heart failure that mimics an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with comparable acute adverse outcome.1 Many hypotheses have been formulated, but the pathophysiology of TTS is still not fully understood. Recently, it was demonstrated that specific alterations in neurological response and sympathetic activation after emotional stimuli are present…

During the past 25 years, takotsubo syndrome (TS) has emerged as an important form of acute myocardial injury characterized by a distinctive regional left ventricular (LV) contraction abnormality, often with marked reduction of the LV ejection fraction, and typically completely reversible. At presentation, TS is often indistinguishable from acute coronary syndrome, yet its occurrence is…
