  • Title: Transient left ventricular apical ballooning after a cocaine binge.
    Author: Daka MA, Khan RS, Deppert EJ.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2007 Dec; 19(12):E378-80. PubMed ID: 18180533.
    Abstract:
    Left ventricular apical ballooning is an increasingly reported phenomenon with an onset that is usually triggered by severe and often acute emotional incidents. We report a rare case of acute left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome, mimicking acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, in a post menopausal woman whose only predisposing factor was an all-night cocaine binge.
