  • Title: [Is stress-induced cardiomyopathy always benign? The patient with long QT and torsade de pointes].
    Author: Zielonka J, Kossuth I, Lewandowski M, Kaźmierczak J.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 2012; 70(4):396-7. PubMed ID: 22528718.
    Abstract:
    Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is usually described as syndrome with good prognosis. Although the QT prolongation is usually associated with this cardiomyopathy, the life threatening arrhythmias are less frequent than expected. We present middle age woman with torsade de pointes caused by significant QTc interval prolongation on the basis of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, which could suggest not always mild course of this syndrome.
