Resumen Introducción: El síndrome de takotsubo (STT) es una entidad de reciente reconocimiento que asemeja un síndrome coronario agudo. Su epidemiologia ha sido estudiada en diversas poblaciones del mundo. El desencadenante más frecuente es un evento estresante emocional. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas de una serie de casos con STT. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se evaluaron las variables de edad, sexo, características clínicas, factores de riesgo cardiovascular, factores desencadenantes, biomarcadores, hallazgos electrocardiográficos, ecocardiográficos y angiográficos en los expedientes clínicos de un grupo de casos de pacientes con STT. Resultados: Se incluyeron 19 casos de STT. Fueron 16 mujeres y 3 hombres, promedio de edad 62 ± 14 años; el principal factor de riesgo cardiovascular fue el sedentarismo, en 13 casos. El desencadenante emocional estuvo presente en la mayoría de los casos. El síntoma más frecuente fue el dolor torácico, ocho casos presentaron datos de choque e insuficiencia cardiaca. La variante más común por ecocardiograma fue el balonamiento apical en un 79%, al igual que por ventriculografía. La complicación más común fue choque cardiogénico. Conclusiones: Las características clínicas de nuestra población son similares a las descritas previamente en la literatura. El STT es una miocardiopatía transitoria y reversible con buen pronóstico.
Abstract Introduction: takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a recently recognized entity that resembles an acute coronary syndrome. Its epidemiology has been studied in various populations around the world. The most frequent trigger is an emotional stressful event. Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics of a series of cases with TTS. Material and methods: A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out. The variables of age, gender, clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, triggering factors, biomarkers, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, and angiographic findings in the clinical records of a group of cases of patients with TTS were evaluated. Results: 19 cases of TTS were included. There were 16 women and 3 men, the average age was 62 ± 14 years; the main cardiovascular risk factor was sedentary lifestyle in 13 cases. The emotional trigger was present in most cases. The most frequent symptom was chest pain, eight cases presented data of shoCKP and heart failure. The most common variant by echocardiography was apical ballooning in 79%, as well as by ventriculography. The most common complication was cardiogenic shoCKP. Conclusions: The clinical characteristics of our population are like those previously described in the literature. TTS is a transient and reversible cardiomyopathy with a good prognosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS). MethodsHospitalization data of consecutive patients with TTS from February 2009 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into survival group and death group according to outcomes. The basic clinical information, triggering factors, laboratory examinations, electrocardiogram, echocardiography, complications and treatments of the two groups were compared. Univariable logistic regression analysis was used to screen the possible risk factors for in-hospital mortality in TTS patients, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in TTS patients. ResultsA total of 62 TTS patients were included in our study, including 21 males (33.9%), 41 females (66.1%) and 26 postmenopausal women (41.9%), with the mean age of (55.6±16.2) years, and physical triggers were found in 50 patients (80.6%). 17 patients (27.4%) died while 45 patients (72.6%) survived during hospitalization. The death group had lower systolic blood pressure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), higher incidence rate of syncope, higher level of N-terminal pro-B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and hypersensitive troponin T (hs TnT) when compared with survival group (all P value <0.05). As for the triggering factors, the proportion of TTS induced by neurologic disorders in the death group was higher than that in the survival group (P<0.05). The death group had higher rates of cardiogenic shock, malignant ventricular arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, and respiratory failure (all P value <0.05). Compared with the survival group, therapeutic dopamine, therapeutic norepinephrine, hemodialysis and mechanical ventilation were higher in the death group (all P value <0.05). Univariable logistic regression analysis suggested that syncope, NT-proBNP, LVEF, neurologic disorders, cardiogenic shock, malignant ventricular arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, respiratory failure, therapeutic dopamine, therapeutic norepinephrine, hemodialysis and mechanical ventilation were potential risk factors for in-hospital mortality in TTS patients (all P value <0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that neurologic disorders [OR(95%CI)=5.651(1.195,26.715),P=0.029], atrial fibrillation [OR(95%CI)=6.217(1.276,30.298), P=0.024)] and therapeutic norepinephrin [OR(95%CI)=8.847(1.912,40.949), P=0.005] were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in TTS patients. ConclusionsNeurologic disorders, atrial fibrillation and therapeutic norepinephrin are independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with Takotsubo Syndrome. Clinically, attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of neurologic disorders and atrial fibrillation; norepinephrine should be carefully used in patients with diagnosed TTS complicated with hemodynamic instability.

Objective To summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of one TTS patient after liver transplantation was retrospectively analyzed. Clinical features, diagnosis and treatment strategies were summarized, and literature review was conducted. Results A 43-year-old female patient successfully underwent split liver transplantation due to primary biliary cirrhosis for 8 years. At postoperative 3 d, the patient developed anxiety, irritation, dyspnea, disorientation, hypotension, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) of > 35 000 pg/mL, creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) of 5.9 U/L and troponin I (TnI) of 1.78 μg/L. Electrocardiogram indicated the signs of sinus rhythm. Echocardiography indicated diffuse weakening of the left ventricular wall motion and spherical dilatation of the apex, accompanied with moderate and severe regurgitation of the mitral valve and tricuspid valve. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) declined to 23%, whereas no abnormal segmental motion of ventricular wall or corresponding electrocardiogram changes were observed. The possibility of acute coronary syndrome was excluded. The InterTAK diagnostic score was 73. The diagnosis of TTS after liver transplantation was considered. Metoprolol, coenzyme Q10, recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide, deacetyl lanatoside and lorazepam were given. Echocardiography at postoperative 10 d showed that the left ventricular function was significantly improved and the LVEF recovered to 50%. The patient was discharged 40 d after liver transplantation. The liver function was recovered well. During postoperative follow-up, she was given with metoprolol till the submission date, and no recurrence was reported. Conclusions TTS after liver transplantation is rare in clinical practice. It is difficult to make the diagnosis. The condition of TTS is severe and clinical prognosis is poor. Prompt diagnosis and interventions should be implemented.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute and mostly reversible cardiomyopathy that mimics an acute coronary syndrome with systolic dysfunction of left ventricular.Although supraphysiological epinephrine levels have been associated with TTS, the detailed pathophysiology is incompletely understood.According to the distribution of left ventricular wall motion abnormalities, various morphological subtypes have been identified.The ultimate diagnosis depends on cardiac imaging with left ventricular angiography during acute heart catheterization, as well as echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance.Management is based on observational data, while randomized multicenter studies are still lacking.Mechanical circulatory support is an emerging strategy for patients with TTS and shock, in order to avoid catecholamines and inotropes in particular.This review provides a general overview of TTS.However, the demographic characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of TTS have not been well studied in children.

Objective: Cardiac arrest (CA) has been observed in some patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), most of whom had CA at the initial presentation of TTS. The objective of this report was to discuss the factors underlying the onset of this syndrome.Case presentation: A 72-year-old woman with refractory antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated lung disease was referred to our hospital. Twenty minutes after bronchoscopic examination, cardiopulmonary arrest suddenly occurred. Resuscitation immediately resumed her heartbeat and spontaneous breathing. Subsequent 12-lead electrocardiography, echocardiography, and left ventricular angiography revealed TTS.Conclusion: This case indicates that bronchoscopy can cause severe TTS, especially in patients with systemic inflammation.

Resumo A infecção pelo coronavírus denominada COVID-19 promoveu crescente interesse de cardiologistas, emergencistas, intensivistas e pesquisadores, pelo estudo do acometimento miocárdico partindo de diferentes formas clínicas decorrentes de desmodulação imunoinflamatória e neuro-humoral.O acometimento miocárdico pode ser mínimo e apenas identificado a partir de alterações eletrocardiográficas, principalmente por aumento de troponinas cardíacas, ou no outro lado do espectro pelas formas de miocardite fulminante e síndrome de takotsubo.A descrição de provável miocardite aguda tem sido comumente apoiada pela observação da troponina elevada em associação com disfunção. A clássica definição de miocardite, respaldada pela biópsia endomiocárdica de infiltrado inflamatório é rara, e foi observada em um único relato de caso até o momento, não se identificando o vírus no interior dos cardiomiócitos.Assim, o fenômeno que se tem documentado é de injúria miocárdica aguda, sendo obrigatório afastar doença coronária obstrutiva a partir da elevação de marcadores de necrose miocárdica, associada ou não à disfunção ventricular, provavelmente associada à tempestade de citoquinas e outros fatores que podem sinergicamente promover lesão miocárdica, tais como hiperativação simpática, hipoxemia, hipotensão arterial e fenômenos trombóticos microvasculares.Fenômenos inflamatórios sistêmicos e miocárdicos após infecção viral estão bem documentados, podendo evoluir para remodelamento cardíaco e disfunção miocárdica. Portanto, será importante a cardiovigilância desses indivíduos para monitorar o desenvolvimento do fenótipo de miocardiopatia dilatada.A presente revisão apresenta os principais achados etiofisiopatológicos, descrição da taxonomia desses tipos de acometimento cardíaco e sua correlação com as principais formas clínicas do componente miocárdico presente nos pacientes na fase aguda de COVID-19.
Abstract Infection with the coronavirus known as COVID-19 has promoted growing interest on the part of cardiologists, emergency care specialists, intensive care specialists, and researchers, due to the study of myocardial involvement based on different clinical forms resulting from immunoinflammatory and neurohumoral demodulation.Myocardial involvement may be minimal and identifiable only by electrocardiographic changes, mainly increased cardiac troponins, or, on the other side of the spectrum, by forms of fulminant myocarditis and takotsubo syndrome.The description of probable acute myocarditis has been widely supported by the observation of increased troponin in association with dysfunction. Classical definition of myocarditis, supported by endomyocardial biopsy of inflammatory infiltrate, is rare; it has been observed in only one case report to date, and the virus has not been identified inside cardiomyocytes.Thus, the phenomenon that has been documented is acute myocardial injury, making it necessary to rule our obstructive coronary disease based on increased markers of myocardial necrosis, whether or not they are associated with ventricular dysfunction, likely associated with cytokine storms and other factors that may synergistically promote myocardial injury, such as sympathetic hyperactivation, hypoxemia, arterial hypotension, and microvascular thrombotic phenomena.Systemic inflammatory and myocardial phenomena following viral infection have been well documented, and they may progress to cardiac remodeling and myocardial dysfunction. Cardiac monitoring of these patients is, therefore, important in order to monitor the development of the phenotype of dilated myocardiopathy.This review presents the main etiological and physiopathological findings, a description of the taxonomy of these types of cardiac involvement, and their correlation with the main clinical forms of the myocardial component present in patients in the acute phase of COVID-19.

Abstract Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by a temporary systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) related to a stressful event. However, the factors associated with its recurrence are still not well established. Objective: To analyze the main factors associated with TTS recurrence. Methods: A systematic review was performed using the PRISMA model. Observational studies, published between January 2008 and October 2017, which presented a recurrence rate of at least 3% and/or 5 or more patients with recurrence, and who met at least 80% of the STROBE criteria were included. Results: six articles reached the criteria to compose this systematic review. The recurrence rate ranged from 1 to 3.5% per year (global recurrence rate 3.8%). One study associated higher recurrence rate with the female gender, four reported the time between the first and second episodes, one study associated body mass index (BMI) and hypercontractility of the LV middle anterior wall to a higher recurrence rate. No association between recurrence and electrocardiographic changes were determined. Beta-blockers use was not associated with recurrence rates. Conclusions: Female gender, time from the first episode of the syndrome, low BMI and midventricular obstruction were reported as potential predictors of TTS recurrence.
Resumo Fundamento: A síndrome de Takotsubo (STT) é caracterizada por uma disfunção sistólica temporária do ventrículo esquerdo (VE) relacionada a um evento estressante. No entanto, os fatores associados à sua recorrência ainda não estão bem estabelecidos. Objetivo: Analisar os principais fatores associados à recorrência da STT. Métodos: Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada usando o modelo PRISMA. Foram incluídos estudos observacionais, publicados entre janeiro de 2008 e outubro de 2017, que apresentaram uma taxa de recorrência de pelo menos 3% e/ou 5 ou mais pacientes com recidiva e que preencheram pelo menos 80% dos critérios STROBE. Resultados: Seis artigos atenderam aos critérios para esta revisão sistemática. A taxa de recorrência variou de 1 a 3,5% ao ano (taxa de recorrência global 3,8%). Um estudo associou maior taxa de recorrência ao sexo feminino, quatro relataram o tempo entre o primeiro e o segundo episódio, um estudo associou o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e a hipercontratilidade da parede anterior média do VE a uma maior taxa de recorrência. Não foi determinada associação entre recorrência e alterações eletrocardiográficas. O uso de betabloqueadores não foi associado a taxas de recorrência. Conclusões: Sexo feminino, tempo desde o primeiro episódio da síndrome, baixo IMC e obstrução ventricular foram relatados como possíveis preditores de recorrência da STT.

To investigate and analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of brain-heart interaction (BHI) in patients with acute severe stroke. Methods The patients with acute severe stroke admitted to Neurointensive Care Unit of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2017 were enrolled. The clinical data, indicators related to BHI and prognosis were collected. Patients were divided into BHI group and non-BHI group according to the presence or absence of BHI. The differences of each index were compared between two groups. The independent risk factors of BHI were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression analysis. In addition, subgroup analysis was performed for patients in the BHI group based on the presence or absence of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors for TTS. Results 119 patients with acute severe stroke were analyzed, BHI occurred in 91 cases (76.5%), and 17 cases (14.3%) TTS were included in the BHI group. Compared with non-BHI group, BHI group had lower rates of cerebrovascular disease history (20.9% vs. 42.9%, P = 0.020), lower smoking history (25.3% vs. 50.0%, P = 0.013), lower statin use (16.5% vs. 50.0%, P = 0.000), lower total cholesterol [TC (mmol/L): 3.97±1.05 vs. 4.43±0.88, P =0.039], and lower low density lipoprotein [LDL (mmol/L): 2.30±0.76 vs. 3.00±0.84, P = 0.000]. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that the use of statins [odds ratio (OR) = 0.222, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.075-0.658, P =0.007] and the history of cerebrovascular diseases (OR = 0.321, 95%CI = 0.113-0.912, P = 0.033) were protective factors of BHI. Compared with non-TTS subgroup, TTS subgroup had a lower percentage of diabetes history (0% vs. 37.8%, P = 0.002), lower glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c: 0.055 (0.050, 0.056) vs. 0.064 (0.056, 0.075), P = 0.000], higher TC (mmol/L: 4.70±1.16 vs. 3.80±0.95, P = 0.001), first day mean arterial pressure [MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa):114 (98, 122) vs. 103 (94, 108), P = 0.042], third day diastolic blood pressure [DBP (mmHg): 82 (77, 94) vs. 67 (59, 86), P = 0.002], and third day MAP [mmHg: 106 (95, 114) vs. 94 (80, 106), P = 0.015]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that increased MAP on the third day of admission was an independent risk factor for TTS (OR = 11.833, 95%CI = 1.113-125.779, P = 0.040), increased HbA1c was protective factor of TTS (OR = 0.022, 95%CI = 0.001-0.345, P = 0.006). The rate of poor outcome at discharge of all the BHI patients were higher than those of the non-BHI patients (34.1% vs. 14.3%, P = 0.045). Conclusions Acute severe stroke patients with high incidence of acquiring BHI and having BHI is associated with poor outcome after discharge. Using statins, ischemic preconditioning and control blood pressure, the occurrence of BHI can be reduced and might be beneficial to patients.

La cardiomiopatía inducida por estrés o Síndrome de Takotsubo se caracteriza por una disfunción aguda del ventrículo izquierdo caracterizado por acinesia o discinesia apical con hipercinesia basal a menudo reversible, en ausencia de obstrucción coronaria en la angiografía. La presentación clínica se asemeja al del Infarto Agudo de Miocardio; con un inicio súbito caracterizado por dolor precordial de tipo isquémico, disnea, palpitaciones, cambios electrocardiográficos, elevación de biomarcadores de necrosis miocárdica y en casos más graves y raros shock cardiogénico; el estrés emocional y físico severo suelen ser desencadenantes. Con el presente caso clínico, revisamos las características clínicas, diagnósticas y terapéuticas de ésta entidad poco frecuente que representa cerca del 1% de todos los pacientes con sospecha de síndrome coronario agudo.
Cardiomyopathy induced by stress or Takotsubo Syndrome is characterized by an acute dysfunction of the left ventricle characterized by apical akinesia or dyskinesia with often reversible basal hyperkinesia, in the absence of coronary occlusion on angiography. The clinical presentation resembles the Acute Myocardial Infarction, with a sudden onset characterized by a chest pain angina type, dyspnea, palpitations, electrocardiographic changes, elevation of cardiac biomarkers and cardiogenic shock in more serious and rare cases; the severe emotional and physical stress tend to be triggers. With this clinical case, we reviewed the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of this rare entity which represents about 1% of all patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a stress-induced cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by an acute onset of symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities mimicking an acute coronary syndrome in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Any anesthetic-surgical event corresponds to a stressful situation, so the anesthetic management of patients with TCM requires special care throughout the perioperative period. We describe the anesthetic management of a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of TCM undergoing segmental colectomy. Case report: Female patient, 55 years old, ASA III, with history of takotsubo syndrome diagnosed 2 years ago, scheduled for segmental colectomy. The patient, without other changes in preoperative evaluation, underwent general anesthesia associated with lumbar epidural and remained hemodynamically stable during the 2 h of surgery. After a brief stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, she was transferred to the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU), with epidural analgesia for postoperative period. Conclusion: TCM is a rare disease which true pathophysiology remains unclear, as well as the most appropriate anesthetic-surgical strategy. In this case, through a preventive approach, with close monitoring and the lowest possible stimulus, all the perioperative period was uneventful. Because it is a rare disease, this report could help to raise awareness about TCM.
Resumo Introdução: A miocardiopatia takotsubo (MT) é uma miocardiopatia induzida pelo estresse. Caracteriza-se por um início agudo de sintomas e alterações eletrocardiográficas que mimetizam uma síndrome coronária aguda na ausência de doença arterial coronária obstrutiva. Qualquer evento anestésico-cirúrgico corresponde a uma situação de estresse, pelo que a abordagem anestésica dos doentes com MT exige um cuidado especial em todo o período perioperatório. Descrevemos a abordagem anestésica de uma doente com diagnóstico confirmado de MT submetida a colectomia segmentar. Caso clínico: Paciente do sexo feminino, 55 anos, ASA III, com antecedentes de síndrome de takotsubo diagnosticada havia dois anos, encaminhada para colectomia segmentar. A paciente, sem outras alterações na avaliação pré-operatória, foi submetida a anestesia geral associada a epidural lombar e manteve-se hemodinamicamente estável durante as duas horas do procedimento cirúrgico. Após uma breve permanência na Unidade de Cuidados Pós-Anestésicos foi transferida para a Unidade de Cuidados Intermédios (UCIM) com analgesia peridural para o pós-operatório. Conclusão: A MT é uma doença rara, cuja verdadeira fisiopatologia continua por esclarecer, assim como a estratégia anestésico-cirúrgica mais apropriada. Nesse caso, por causa de uma abordagem preventiva, com monitoração rigorosa e o menor estímulo possível, todo o perioperatório decorreu sem intercorrências. Sendo uma doença rara, o seu relato poderá contribuir para o avanço do conhecimento sobre a MT.

RESUMEN La cardiomiocardiomiopatía de takotsubo o síndrome de disfunción apical transitoria del ventrículo izquierdo, es una falla cardíaca aguda reversible descrita por primera vez en la población japonesa en 1990, siendo cada vez más frecuentes los reportes vinculados al período perioperatorio. La forma del ventrículo izquierdo en la ventriculografía se asemeja a una vasija japonesa clásica usada para atrapar pulpos llamada “takotsubo”, de donde surge el nombre de este cuadro. Reportamos el caso de una paciente de 57 años, sexo femenino, coordinada para artrodesis de columna lumbar. Post inducción anestésica, imposibilidad de intubación orotraqueal (IOT) lográndose ventilación dificultosa mediante máscara laríngea (ML). Se presenta hipoxemia, taquicardia e hipertensión arterial. Se agrega regurgitación con noción de aspiración a través de la ML. Evoluciona con inestabilidad hemodinámica con tendencia a la hipotensión arterial y edema agudo de pulmón, por lo que se suspende cirugía comenzando las medidas de apoyo cardiovascular. En tratamiento intensivo (CTI) presenta: electrocardiograma (ECG) sin elementos claros de isquemia, troponinas positivas, Ecocardiograma: aquinesia extensa anteroseptal y apicolateral del ventrículo izquierdo con severa disminución de la fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo (FEVI) de 38%. Al tercer día, repite angor solicitando coronariografía (CACG) de urgencia que no muestra lesiones coronarias significativas. Ecocardiograma revela aquinesia apical tipo Takotsubo sin gradientes interventriculares, con FEVI de 26%. Buena evolución posterior con alta al décimo día.
SUMMARY Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome , also known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a reversible acute cardiac failure described for the first time for Japanese population at 1990, being reports linked to perioperative period each time more frequent. The left ventricle’s shape at ventriculography resembles a classic Japanese vessel used to catch octopuses called “takotsubo”, from which the name of this picture comes from. We report a case of a female 57 years old patient ,scheduled for a lumbar spinal fusion. After anesthesia induction endotraqueal intubation was impossible and ventilation was difficult under laryngeal mask. Hipoxemia, tachycardia and arterial hypertension were observed. Regurgitation of gastric contents and aspiration were confirmed. The patient installed an hemodynamic instability with arterial hipotension and then acute pulmonary edema. Surgery was stopped and cardiovascular resuscitation was started. In the intensive care unit electrocardiogram didn´t show definite signs of ischemia, troponin levels were positive and echocardiogram showed extensive left ventricular anteroseptal and apicolateral akinesia with severe decrease of LVEF to 38%. On the third day the patient had an episode of angina pectoris. The coronary angiography dismissed significant coronary artery lesions. Another echocardiogram showed apical akinesia type Takotsubo without interventricular gradients and LVEF 26%. The patient improved and she was discharged on the tenth day.
RESUMO A cardiomiopatia de takotsubo ou síndrome de disfunção apical transitória do ventrículo esquerdo é uma falha cardíaca aguda reversível descrita pela primeira vez na população Japonesa em 1990, sendo cada vez mais freqüentes os relatos vinculados ao perioperatorio. A forma do ventrículo esquerdo na ventriculografia se assemelha a uma vasilha japonesa clássica usada para pegar polvos chamada "tako-tsubo", o que dá origem ao nome deste quadro. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 57 anos, sexo feminino, marcada para cirurgia eletiva de artrodeses de coluna lombar. Logo após induzir a anestesia não se conseguiu a intubação orotraqueal (IOT), conseguindo ventilação com mascara laríngea (ML). Apresenta hipoxemia, taquicardia e hipertensão arterial. Acrescenta-se regurgitação com possibilidade de aspiração através da ML. Evoluiu com instabilidade hemodinâmica e tendência a hipotensão arterial e edema agudo de pulmão, pelo qual se suspende a cirurgia começando com medidas de apoio Cardiovascular. Na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) apresenta: Electrocardiograma (ECG) sem elementos claros de isquemia, troponinas positivas, ECG: aquinesia extensa anteroseptal e apicolateral do ventrículo esquerdo com severa diminuição da fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVI) 38 %. Ao 3º dia, repete angina solicitando-lhe cinecoronariografia (CACG) de emergência que não apresenta lesões coronárias significativas. Ecocardiograma mostra aquinesia apical tipo Takotsubo sem gradientes interventriculares, com FEVI de 26%. Boa evolução posterior com alta aos 10 º dia.

BACKGROUND: Takotsubo syndrome is a cardiopathy characterized by a dyskinesia or left ventricular apical ballooning and subsequent recovery of ventricular function. We undertook this study to present a case of Takotsubo syndrome. CLINICAL CASE: We present the case of a 60-year-old female with a 26-year history of systemic arterial hypertension treated with 40 mg of termisartan daily. She started with headache after an emotional event (witness to an aggression of her son) associated with elevation of blood pressure that was suddenly accompanied by intense oppressive chest pain and neurovegetative symptoms. Electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in anteroseptal and lateral derivations. Catheterization showed a 50% obstruction in the anterior descending artery and apical dyskinesia with hypercontractile base and 35% left ventricular ejection fraction. We performed stent angioplasty in the responsible artery. Nuclear medicine study showed extensive apical infarction, and echocardiogram agreed with transient apical dyskinesia and basal hypercontractility. After a 1-month evolution, echocardiogram mobility was completely recovered and myocardial perfusion study was normal 4 months later. CONCLUSIONS: We show a transitory apical ballooning secondary to acute myocardial infarction associated with a significantly stressful event that resulted in complete improvement of ventricular function with percutaneous coronary intervention during the following 4 months.

Relatamos um caso de síndrome de Takotsubo induzida por ecocardiograma de estresse com dobutamina em uma paciente de 76 anos, hipertensa com queixas clínicas de dor precordial, em consulta cardiológica eletiva. Para exclusão de dor torácica de etiologia coronariana foi solicitado ecocardiograma de estresse com dobutamina. O exame foi realizado e, no pico do esforço máximo, o ecocardiograma mostrou acinesia apical com o eletrocardiograma mostrando supradesnivelamento do segmento ST em D1, AVL e V2. A paciente foi internada e submetida a coronariografia, que mostrou coronárias normais e VE com balonamento apical. A paciente evoluiu estável com reversão do quadro 21 dias após o quadro inicial.
We report a case of dobutamine stress echocardiography-induced Takotsubo syndrome in a 76-year-old hypertensive patient with clinical complaints of chest pain in an elective visit to the cardiologist. Dobutamine-stress-echocardiography was requested to rule out chest pain of coronary origin. During the test, at peak exercise, echocardiogram showed apical akinesia and electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in D1, AVL, and V2. The patient was hospitalized and underwent coronary angiography, which showed normal coronary arteries and left ventricular apical ballooning. During follow-up, the patient's condition remained stable, with regression of the manifestations 21 days after the initial presentation.
Relatamos un caso de síndrome de Tako-Tsubo inducido por ecocardiograma de esfuerzo con dobutamina en una paciente de 76 años, hipertensa con quejas clínicas de dolor precordial, en consulta cardiológica electiva. Para exclusión de dolor torácico de etiología coronaria se solicitó ecocardiograma de esfuerzo con dobutamina. El examen fue realizado, y en el pico de esfuerzo máximo, el ecocardiograma mostró acinesia apical con el electrocardiograma mostrando supradesnivel del segmento ST en D1, AVL y V2. La paciente fue internada y sometida a coronariografía, que mostró coronarias normales y VI con abombamiento apical. La paciente evolucionó estable con reversión del cuadro 21 días después del cuadro inicial.

A cardiopatia induzida por estresse (precipitada por estresse emocional), também chamada de balonamento apical transitório do ventrículo esquerdo, síndrome do coração partido e, no Japão, síndrome de takotsubo, é caracterizada pela presença de movimento discinético transitório da parede anterior do ventrículo esquerdo, com acentuação da cinética da base ventricular. O curso clínico da cardiomiopatia de takotsubo pode se assemelhar ao do infarto agudo do miocárdio, com dor torácica típica e alterações eletrocardiográficas, sendo a cineangiocoronariografia realizada para distinguir as duas condições na fase aguda.
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also know as reversible left ventricular apical ballooning, " Broken-Heart" syndrome, and in Japan, Takotsubo, is characterized by the presence of a transient left ventricular dyskinetic movement of the anterior wall of with hypercontraction of the ventricular basilar segments precipitated by emotional stress. The clinical course of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is similar to that of an acute myocardial infarct with typical chest pain and electrocardiographic changes, and during the acute phase, coronary angiography is used to distinguish between the two conditions.
