Abstract
Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is a unique reversible cardiomyopathy which is frequently precipitated by a stressful event and has a clinical presentation that is indistinguishable from a myocardial infarction. Clinical presentation of most patients including ECG and symptoms are equal to acute coronary syndromes. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may provide insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy by assessment of myocardial viability. In this paper, we report a 49-year-old woman presenting with acute anterior myocardial infarction in whom apical ballooning was found and differential diagnosis was achieved by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Özet
Tako-Tsubo kardiyomiyopatisi, sıklıkla stresli bir olay ile başlayan, geri dönüşlü, nadir bir kardiyomiyopatidir ve miyokard infarktüsünden ayırt edilmesi zor olan bir kliniğe sahip olabilir. Birçok hastanın elektrokardiyografi ve semptomları içeren kliniği, akut koroner sendromlar ile benzerdir. Kardiyak manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, miyokardiyal canlılığı belirleyerek Tako-Tsubo kardiyomiyopatisinde potansiyel patofizyolojik mekanizmaları anlamamızı sağlar. Bu yayında, apikal balonlaşma tespit edilen ve kardiyak manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile ayırıcı tanıya gidilen, akut anteriyor miyokard infarktüsü kliniği olan 49 yaşında bayan bir hasta sunulmuştur.
