Takatsubo cardiomyopathy: a case series of seven patients
Abstract:
Takatsubo cardiomyopathy is new emerging disease characterised by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction followed by complete recovery of the same gradually over the course of few months. It represents 1-2% of all patients who present with acute ST elevation based on ECG finding and has a mortality of 1% and a recurrence of about 10%. The acute presentation greatly mimics acute coronary syndrome and needs differentiation from the same to avoid inadvertent thrombolysis and its consequences. We describe seven such patients at our institute over a period of 18 months.
