Evidence of ventricular systolic function recovery on cardiac imaging should be present at the follow-up toconfirm its diagnosis and treatment (1).Myocarditis and acute coronary syndrome are the two majordifferential diagnoses of Takotsubo syndrome.The objective of this report is to present a case of Takotsubosyndrome with myocarditis or acute coronary syndrome features and without major stress.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology defines Takotsubo syndrome as the transient regional wallmotion abnormalities occurring in the ventricles, which are incompatible with a single coronary artery distribution apart fromnew and reversible changes depicted in the electrocardiogram(ECG).
📊
Key Findings & Data:It is frequently associated with stressful triggers, considerable elevation of natriuretic peptide, and usually small changesin cardiac troponin.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Evidence of ventricular systolic function recovery on cardiac imaging should be present at the follow-up toconfirm its diagnosis and treatment (1).Myocarditis and acute coronary syndrome are the two majordifferential diagnoses of Takotsubo syndrome.The objective of this report is to present a case of Takotsubosyndrome with myocarditis or acute coronary syndrome features and without major stress.
