Multivessel Coronary Artery Vasospasm-Induced Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is associated with a constellation of cardiac findings including reversible left ventricular dysfunction and an acute triggering stressor. Epicardial coronary vasospasm is a rarely reported etiology for takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and its pathophysiologic mechanisms still remain incompletely understood. We present the case of a 54-year-old female with chest pain and ST-elevation myocardial infarction who was found to have takotsubo cardiomyopathy due to diffuse multivessel coronary artery vasospasm in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. To our knowledge, this is the first angiographically confirmed case of this rare phenomenon to be reported, as most literature involves focal, segmental, or single coronary artery involvement. Moreover, we review current literature and develop a discussion on the targeted treatment of vasospastic disease as part of the multimodal approach to the management of takotsubo syndrome.

Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease in a Patient With Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy With Coronary Artery-to-Left Ventricle Fistulas.

Project description:Coexistence of coronary artery-to-left ventricle fistula (CALVF) and noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is rare in patients with severe multiple coronary stenosis. We report CALVF in a 70-year-old man with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and NCC. Left ventricular ejection fraction may not improve by total revascularization in this condition. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection masquerading as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most likely cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), nearly one in 20 individuals with clinical myocardial infarction (MI) do not have obstructive CAD. For many such individuals, presentation of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy frequently mimics presentation of MI, though spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized aetiology of MI in women.Case summaryThis case report describes a woman with chest pain, found to have non-obstructive CAD on angiogram and left ventricular apical dysfunction on echocardiogram raising suspicion for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Additional suspicion for SCAD led to coronary CT angiogram (CCTA) which ultimately confirmed this diagnosis.DiscussionFamiliarity with a differential diagnosis for non-obstructive CAD is less common than that for obstructive coronary disease. This case emphasizes the clinical features that should raise suspicion for SCAD when Takotsubo is presumed and outlines the clinical utility of CCTA in making this diagnosis when angiography is unrevealing.

Acute Coronary Syndrome Mimicking Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome?

Project description:A healthy 66-year-old female presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain, T-wave inversion in the anterior leads, and elevated troponin-I. Coronary angiography showed a stenosis in the midportion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), which did not wrap the left ventricle (LV) apex. LV angiography demonstrated a large LV apical akinetic systolic ballooning with a 45% ejection fraction. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) of LAD lesion was 0.71. Percutaneous intervention was performed. At six months, transthoracic echocardiography was normal. Fifteen months later, the patient presented with chest pain and a small rise in troponin-I. Coronary angiogram was unchanged. Repeat FFR in distal LAD was 0.86 and left ventriculography was normal. Diagnostic criteria for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) require the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. In the present case, TTC was highly suspected on the basis of typical LV apex ballooning. However, significant ischemia in the same territory was demonstrated by positive FFR, which could not be falsely positive in this context. Current TTC diagnostic criteria increase specificity for diagnosing TTC. This case reminds us that it is at the price of reduced sensitivity, since there is no reason to believe that coronary lesions may protect from TTC.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy triggered by coronary vasospasm complicated with gastrointestinal bleeding: A case report.

Project description:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is typically triggered by excessive catecholamine release. Here, we present a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient experienced cardiac arrest, necessitating extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Coronary angiography revealed severe coronary vasospasm, and echocardiography showed left ventricular dysfunction with ballooning. The patient was transferred out of the emergency intensive care unit on the ninth day with improved consciousness.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with secondary coronary embolus.

Project description:We describe the case of a 65-year-old patient who was admitted to our tertiary centre with cardiac sounding chest pain and inferior ST elevation. Coronary angiography revealed mild plaque disease in the left anterior descending artery. The right coronary artery was smooth with no plaques with the exception of an occluded distal branch with no flow. The left ventriculogram revealed a ballooned and akinetic apex typical of Takotsubo syndrome (TS). We suspected a coronary embolus secondary to TS. A serial rise and fall in biomarkers of myocardial necrosis was noted. The patient was treated for acute coronary syndrome and discharged home 72 h from admission. Distal thromboembolism has been described in the literature before. On a search of PubMed there are no examples of coronary artery embolus in the context of TS.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy induced by acute coronary syndrome: A case report.

Project description:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) can be provoked by various triggers. It should be differentiated from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Herein, we report a case of TC triggered by ACS. An 80-year-old woman was referred to the emergency room because of prolonged chest pain and ST-segment elevations. Echocardiography demonstrated left ventricular apical ballooning, findings suggestive of TC rather than ACS. Emergency coronary angiography revealed severe stenosis of the first diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery with distal flow delay. Recanalization of the diagonal branch was achieved by stent implantation and her chest pain was resolved. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed increased signal intensities in the apex and the inner layer of the anterior wall on fat-suppressed, T2-weighted imaging. The present case highlights the importance of recognizing TC in relation to ACS not only as a differential diagnosis but also as a possibly concomitant condition unless clinical features fit one diagnosis.Learning objectiveTakotsubo cardiomyopathy can be provoked by various conditions and differentiated from acute coronary syndrome based on the presence or absence of coronary artery stenosis. Our case highlights the importance of acknowledging that takotsubo cardiomyopathy may be induced by acute coronary syndrome.

COVID-19: A double threat to takotsubo cardiomyopathy and spontaneous coronary artery dissection?

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic that has affected millions of individuals worldwide. Prior studies suggest that COVID-19 may be associated with an increased risk for various cardiovascular disorders, such as myocardial injury, arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome, and venous thromboembolism. Early reports of non-COVID-19 patients have described the concurrence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). However, the interplay between COVID-19, TTC and SCAD has not been well established. We herein propose two sets of two-hit hypotheses for the development of SCAD and TTC in the context of COVID-19. The first two-hit hypothesis explains the development of SCAD, in which TTC-associated formation of vulnerable coronary substrate serves as the first hit (predisposing factor), and COVID-19-associated inflammation and vascular disruption serves as the second hit (precipitating factor). The second two-hit hypothesis is proposed to explain the development of TTC, in which SCAD-associated formation of vulnerable myocardial substrate serves as the first hit, and COVID-19-associated sympathetic overactivity serves as the second hit. Under this conceptual framework, COVID-19 poses a double threat for the development of SCAD (among patients with underlying TTC) as well as TTC (among patients with underlying SCAD), thereby forming a reciprocal causation. This hypothesis provides a rationale for the joint assessment of TTC and SCAD in COVID-19 patients with pertinent cardiovascular manifestations.

Multivessel Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection With Coronary Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia.

Project description:A 53-year-old woman underwent a cardiac catheterization for evaluation of acute coronary syndrome. The coronary angiogram revealed evidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in multiple coronary arteries including the left anterior descending artery, posterior descending artery, and posterior left ventricular artery. Further diagnostic imaging revealed associated bilateral vertebral artery and renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Follow-up coronary angiogram 6 weeks later revealed a "string of beads" appearance of the posterior descending artery. This case highlights the importance of extra-coronary imaging for FMD and demonstrates angiogram findings suggestive of coronary FMD.
