Abstract

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning associated with electrocardiogram changes and mimicking acute myocardial infarction in patients without significant cor- onary disease on angiography. We report an unusual case of a patient who presented with TC associated with long-QT syndrome-induced ventricular tachycardia. QT interval pro- longation was normalized and ventricular tachycardias were stopped within the same day with metoprolol treatment.

Özet

Takotsubo kardiyomiyopatisi, önemli koroner arter hastalığı olmayan hastalarda akut miyokart enfarktüsünü taklit eden elektrokardiyografik değişikliklerle beraber vent- rikül apeksinin geçici balonlaşması ile karakterize bir send- romdur. Bu yazıda, uzun QT sendromunun tetiklediği vent- rikül taşikardileri olan nadir bir Takotsubo sendromlu olgu sunuldu. Metoprolol tedavisinden sonra aynı gün içinde uzun QT aralığı normale döndü ve ventrikül taşikardileri sonlandı.
