          Abstract

          Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was first described in Japan and is characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning in the absence of a significant coronary artery disease.

          Caused by the clinical presentation including chest pain, electrocardiographic changes and elevated myocardial markers this syndrome is frequently misdiagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome. Recurrences of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, especially in variant regions of the left ventricle are rare

          We describe a midventricular form of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy as a recurrence 1 year after typical apical ballooning.

          Transient mid-ventricular ballooning cardiomyopathy: a new entity of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

          Takanori Yasu, Katsuyuki Tone, Norifumi Kubo … (2006)
          We present a case of a 64-year-old man with transient mid-ventricular ballooning cardiomyopathy. Left ventriculography showed morphological differences with ballooning around the whole mid-portion of the left ventricle, although precipitating factors and clinical courses were similar to Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We suspect that transient mid-ventricular ballooning cardiomyopathy is a new pathological entity in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

            Recurrence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy with variant forms of left ventricular dysfunction.

            Erwin Blessing, Hugo Katus, Mark W Rosenberg … (2007)
            Apical ballooning syndrome, or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is a syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, frequently presenting with electrocardiographic changes and elevated cardiac biomarkers in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. We describe a case where repeated emotional stress caused recurrent ventricular dysfunction in varying regions of the left ventricle.

              Recurrence of Stress-Induced (Takotsubo) Cardiomyopathy

              John Cherian, Dimitrios Angelis, Allen Filiberti … (2007)
              Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a recently recognized form of transient left ventricular dysfunction that is presumably precipitated by stress and may clinically resemble an acute coronary syndrome. These patients have an akinetic left ventricular apex in an unusual shape that resembles a takotsubo. Although reports of single episodes of takotsubo cardiomyopathy are not infrequent in recent medical literature, we report a case of recurrence that may provide more insight into the nature of this syndrome.
