  • Title: Catecholamines may play an important role in the pathogenesis of transient mid- and basal ventricular ballooning syndrome.
    Author: Kim EM, Park JH, Park YS, Lee JH, Choi SW, Jeong JO, Seong IW.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 2008 Oct; 23(5):898-902. PubMed ID: 18955801.
    Abstract:
    The exact pathogenesis of transient mid- and basal ventricular ballooning, a new variant of transient left ventricular (LV) ballooning, remains unknown. We report two cases of transient mid- and basal ventricular ballooning associated with catecholamines. These cases suggest that catecholamine-mediated myocardial dysfunction might be a potential mechanism of this syndrome.
