  • Title: Relationship between pattern of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy and age: from midventricular to apical ballooning syndrome.
    Author: Mansencal N, El Mahmoud R, Pillière R, Dubourg O.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2010 Jan 07; 138(1):e18-20. PubMed ID: 18676042.
    Abstract:
    Several patterns of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) have been recently published. However, its physiopathology is still unclear. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman who had a previous history of transient midventricular ballooning and was admitted 11 years after the first TTC, for a recurrence of typical pattern of TTC. Our report suggests that age could affect the left ventricular pattern of TTC and should be taken into account for a correct diagnosis of TTC.
