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 Additional findings include: Of the 135,463 documented cases of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, the annual incidence increased steadily in both sexes, with women contributing most cases (83.3%), especially those over 50. In particular, researchers observed a significantly greater increase in incidence among middle-aged women and older women, compared High serum epinephrine levels are a common feature in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy patients suggesting a mechanistic link. We developed a model of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in which an anaesthetised rat receives an intravenous (jugular) bolus of 4.3x10-8 moles.100g-1 epinephrine (equivalent to ~5mg in an adult human). Intravenous bolus delivery was Introduction. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a clinical condition characterized by the appearance of transient alterations of left ventricular parietal kinetics in association with symptoms, increased myocardial-cytonecrosis indices, electrocardiogram (ECG) alterations in the absence of a culprit coronary lesion, frequently secondary to significant physical or psychological stress. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction with chest symptoms, elevated cardiac enzymes, and electrocardiogram changes that resemble myocardial infarction. It is estimated that approximately 2% of patients with suspected acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction have the syndrome ( 5 ). The prognosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy is generally considered favorable 5, 16 where four-year survival is comparable to an age-matched and gender-matched population. 31 Although majority of patients recover uneventfully, a study of 185 cases of Tako-tsubo reported complications in approximately one of five patients. 32 The most common Background Takostsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy (TC) is a clinical syndrome featuring transient left ventricular dysfunction and wall-motion abnormalities, usually following emotional or physical stress. The diagnosis of TC depends on fulfillment of multiple clinical criteria. Although the pathogenesis has not been firmly established, myocardial cathecholamine toxicity is thought to represent a The long-term affects of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy are unclear, but it does appear to be temporary and reversible. Nevertheless, it is certain that we can have our hearts broken – and that, for Vay Tiền Online Chuyển Khoản Ngay.
