Early postoperative tako-tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction: transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome

Claude Lentschener et al. Anesth Analg. 2006 Sep.

Abstract

We diagnosed transient left ventricular apical wall motion abnormalities after surgery in a patient presenting with a clinical and electrocardiographic picture of acute myocardial infarction in the absence of significant coronary disease. These angiographic, clinical, and electrocardiographic features satisfied the criteria of the recently described tako-tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction.
