Summary: | Transient apical ballooning, Tako-tsubo syndrome (and
other synonyms), is a clinical condition first described
in Japan, and then in other countries, that mimics acute
myocardial infarction. Disorders of left ventricular contractility
recover within a few weeks. The fatality rate is
very low compared with infarction, but it should be
known by professionals that see patients with acute co ronary syndrome in the emergency department. A
patient who was discharged from our department with
this diagnosis is presented, and electrocardiographic,
echocardiographic and angiographic images are shown
La discinesia apical transitoria, Síndrome de Takotsubo
(y otras sinonimias), es una situación clínica descrita
inicialmente en Japón, y luego en otras latitudes,
que simula el infarto agudo de miocardio. Los trastornos
de la contractilidad segmentaria del ventrículo
izquierdo se recuperan en pocas semanas. La letalidad
es muy baja comparada con el infarto, pero debe conocerse
por los profesionales que atienden en los servicios
de urgencias a pacientes con síndrome coronario
agudo. Se presenta una paciente egresada de nuestro
servicio con este diagnóstico, y se muestran las imágenes
electrocardiográficas, ecocardiográficas y angiográficas. |
