Typical takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a reversible form of myocardial injury that presents with a characteristic ballooning abnormality of the left ventricular apex. Typical TCM has been associated with myocardial bridging; however, mid-ventricular variant TCM has not. We describe a rare case of mid-ventricular variant TCM with a coexisting left anterior descending artery myocardial bridge and discuss management strategies. Furthermore, we propose potential pathophysiological mechanisms that may contribute to the symptomatic presentation of both conditions as a manifestation of common etiological factors...

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare condition associated with transient akinesia of apical segments and hyperkinesia of basal segments of the heart. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to cause direct and indirect myocardial damage owing to catecholamine excess, the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown. An 18-year-old female was referred to our otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic for a septorhinoplasty. Apart from the fear of surgery, the patient had no other health issues. After the administration of local anesthesia (lidocaine and epinephrine mix), tachycardia storms occurred and soon ended with cardiac collapse...

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy are increasingly recognized in the last two decades. Case reports have shown both entities can present concomitantly - however, little is known about their association. METHODS: In this retrospective study we aimed to explore a potential association between SCAD and TCM using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. The odds of having TCM among patients with SCAD compared with those who did not have SCAD were calculated as an odds ratio...

OBJECTIVE: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute heart failure syndrome which resembles acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at presentation. Differentiation requires coronary angiography, but where this does not occur immediately, cardiac biomarkers may provide additional utility. We performed a meta-analysis to compare troponin and natriuretic peptides (NPs) in TTS and ACS to determine if differences in biomarker profile can aid diagnosis. METHODS: We searched five literature databases for studies reporting NPs (Brain NP (BNP)/NT-pro-BNP) or troponin I/T in TTS and ACS, identifying 28 studies for troponin/NPs (5618 and 1145 patients, respectively)...

AIMS: The spatiotemporal deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) helps reduce echocardiographic readers' erroneous 'judgement calls' on Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). The aim of this study was to improve the interpretability of the spatiotemporal DCNN to discover latent imaging features associated with causative TTS pathophysiology. METHODS AND RESULTS: We applied gradient-weighted class activation mapping analysis to visualize an established spatiotemporal DCNN based on the echocardiographic videos to differentiate TTS (150 patients) from anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, 150 patients)...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a widely accepted and effective treatment for various types of solid tumors. Recent studies suggest that cardiovascular immune-related adverse events (irAEs) specifically have an incidence rate ranging from 1.14% to more than 5%. Myocarditis is the most common observed cardiovascular irAE. Others include arrhythmias, pericardial diseases, vasculitis, and a condition resembling takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) pathway, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) pathway, and the recently discovered lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) pathway, play a critical role in boosting the body's natural immune response against cancer cells...

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is an established transient cardiomyopathy found predominately in females with intense emotional and physical strain. It has four notable variants: Apical, Mid-Ventricular, Basal and Focal. Mid Ventricular variant is also referred to as Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Dengue is a viral arthopod-borne tropical disease endemic to Pakistan, with multiple reports of cardiovascular involvement. We report an atypical presentation of a 17 year old male, suffering from Dengue Fever, who presented to a tertiary care hospital with Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy...

UNLABELLED: The patient, a 68-year-old man, presented to our emergency room with chest pain, prompting an emergency cardiac catheterization due to elevated cardiac troponin-I levels. While no obvious coronary artery stenosis was found, there was evidence of apical ballooning wall motion in the left ventricle, leading to a diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome. Three months later, he occasionally experienced chest pain at rest, prompting us to conduct another cardiac catheterization. Left ventriculography showed normal contraction...
