The diagnosis of Takotsubo syndrome is made based on clinical presentation, ECG, biomarker, imaging and coronary angiography. There is a lack of diagnostic biomarkers that can discriminate patients with Takotsubo syndrome from those with acute myocardial Abstract. A literature review shows scarce reports of myasthenic crises (MC) complicated by Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC). This patient cohort (0.11%) has higher all-cause mortality and prolonged in-hospital course. We present a rare case of a 72-year-old man who developed cardiogenic shock post-plasmapheresis for myasthenia crisis. Background: Takotsubo syndrome is an acute cardiovascular condition that predominantly affects women. In this study, we compared patients with takotsubo syndrome and those with acute myocardial infarction with respect to patient characteristics, angiographic findings, and short- and long-term mortality. The prognosis of patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy is generally favorable; however, we have had some fatal complications with takotsubo cardiomyopathy such as left ventricular free wall rupture. 33 Heart failure, with or without pulmonary edema, is the most common clinical complication. We believe that the published in-hospital mortality Takotsubo cardiomyopathy refers to a syndrome of transient left ventricular apical ballooning. This syndrome was first described by the Japanese in 1991 and was given its characteristic name because the apical ballooning resembled a takotsubo, a round-bottomed pot with a narrow neck used to catch octopuses.1 Transient left ventricular apical There is typically an absence of late enhancement on delayed contrast sequences, which differentiates takotsubo cardiomyopathy from anterior STEMI. There can be a high T2 intensity signal (directly relating to water content in the myocardial wall); the edema is typically located in the apical mid-ventricular planes and spares the basal plane Introduction. Left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation is a well‐known complication in the course of acute myocardial infarction and can be associated with thromboembolic events. 1 Major predisposing factors associated with LV thrombosis are blood stasis, endothelial injury, and hypercoagulability. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as stress cardiomyopathy and broken heart syndrome, is a neurocardiac condition that is among the most dramatic manifestations of psychosomatic disorders. This paper is based on a systematic review of TTS and stress cardiomyopathy using a PubMed literature search. Typically, an episode of severe emotional or physical stress precipitates regions of left Introduction. Acute stress-induced (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy is a heart failure syndrome that has a presentation and mortality similar to that of acute myocardial infarction. 1–3 Patients with this syndrome, which is often triggered by a major stressful event, have unobstructed coronary arteries and characteristic ballooning of the left ventricle, with subsequent prompt restoration of Takotsubo Syndrome. Takotsubo syndrome is a condition which affects the heart muscle, giving it a distinctive shape. It is thought to be brought on by extremely stressful events and affects how the heart works, hence it is sometimes referred to as 'stress' cardiomyopathy. It is usually a temporary condition, and once treated most people recover blpV.
