  • Title: Inverted-Takotsubo pattern cardiomyopathy secondary to pheochromocytoma: a clinical case and literature review.
    Author: Kim S, Yu A, Filippone LA, Kolansky DM, Raina A.
    Journal: Clin Cardiol; 2010 Apr; 33(4):200-5. PubMed ID: 20394039.
    Abstract:
    Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an increasingly recognized clinical syndrome of transient left ventricular dysfunction, commonly with apical ballooning, in the context of physical or emotional stress. Recently, an inverted-Takotsubo contractile pattern has been described with hypokinesis of the basal and mid-ventricular segments and sparing of the apex. We report a case of a 30-year-old man presenting with transient left ventricular dysfunction in an inverted-Takotsubo contractile pattern, associated with a newly discovered pheochromocytoma, and present a literature review of the inverted-Takotsubo contractile pattern cardiomyopathy.
