När hjärtat brister : Att drabbas av Takotsubo Kardiomyopati / When the heart breaks : To suffer from Takotsubo cardiomyopathyAndersson, Madeleine, Hjelte, Evelina, Evelina, Träff January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: Takotsubo kardiomyopati är ett akut tillstånd för vårdsökande personer som symtommässigt liknar hjärtinfarkt men i själva verket är en reversibel hjärtsvikt. I det akuta skedet har sjuksköterskan en viktig roll i att inhämta anamnes, vilket är avgörande för att kunna vidta adekvata omvårdnadsåtgärder. Syfte: Att beskriva vårdsökande personers erfarenheter av att drabbas av takotsubo kardiomyopati. Metod: Integrativ litteraturöversikt vilken sammanfattar 13 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Litteraturöversikten visar tre huvudkategorier: Utlösande faktorer, Akuta skedet och Dagligt liv. De som drabbas av takotsubo kardiomyopati främst är kvinnor samt personer med liknande personlighetsdrag, där oro, ångest och stress är en stor del av vardagen. Emotionella eller fysiska stressorer är de främsta bakomliggande orsakerna till att drabbas av takotsubo kardiomyopati. Symtomen är främst dyspné och bröstsmärta som flera av de drabbade till en början ignorerar. Slutsats: Takotsubo kardiomyopati medför existentiella frågor och oro för framtiden där stresshantering och sjuksköterskans personcentrerade förhållningssätt är avgörande för att återfå god hälsa. Det krävs ytterligare forskning för att utforma strategier för väl anpassad personcentrerad omvårdnad för de drabbade. / Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a critical condition for the care recipient that is symptomatically similar to myocardial infarction but in fact is a reversible form of heart failure. In the critical stage, the nurse has an important role in acquiring anamnesis, which is crucial in order to be able to perform adequate nursing actions.Aim: To describe care recipients experience of suffering from takotsubo cardiomyopathy.Method: Integrative literature review of 13 scientific articles.Result: Common findings lead to three main categories: Triggering factors, Critical stage and Everyday life. Those affected by takotsubo cardiomyopathy are mainly women and have similar personality traits, where uneasiness, anxiety and stress are major parts of the everyday life. An emotional or physical stressor are often the underlying cause of the person being affected by takotsubo. The symptoms are mainly dyspnoea and chest pain, symptoms that several of the affected initially ignore. Conclusion: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy brings up existential concerns and questions about the future where stress management and the nurse’s person centered approach are crucial for regaining good health. Further research is needed to obtain strategies to form well-adjusted person centered care for those affected.

Broken Heart Syndrome in a Patient on Maintenance HemodialysisBhogal, Sukhdeep, Ladia, Vatsal, Sitwala, Puja, Bajaj, Kailash, Ramu, Vijay, Paul, Timir 01 June 2017 (has links)
Context:Broken heart syndrome or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a disorder characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning that almost invariably precedes emotional or physical stress. Although the patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis have shown to exhibit sustained activity of sympathetic nervous system, the presentation of TC in these patients is a rare entity with few case reports in the literature. Case Report: A 75-year-old female with past medical history of end-stage renal disease presented with chest pressure and heaviness that started during her maintenance hemodialysis session. Electrocardiogram showed ST elevation and T wave inversion in V3-V6 leads. Emergent left heart catheterization was done that showed normal coronaries and akinesis of apical left ventricle wall consistent with TC. She was started on maximal medical management and underwent hemodialysis the next day without recurrence of the symptoms. Conclusion: TC may an underdiagnosed entity in patients on hemodialysis. However, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis in hemodialysis patients, particularly who presents with chest pain and/or symptoms.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Stent Thrombosis After Percutaneous Coronary InterventionKhattak, Furqan, Khalid, Muhammad, Murtaza, Ghulam, Paul, Timir K. 30 April 2018 (has links)
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome,” is a transient left ventricular dysfunction associated with stress (usually emotional) induced myocardial injury and stunning. It often presents as myocardial infarction on surface electrocardiogram (EKG). Diagnosis is made by coronary angiography, which rules out coronary artery disease and shows pathognomonic apical ballooning. In this article, we present a case of a 72-year-old woman who initially presented with an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction on EKG. Coronary angiography showed severe left anterior descending artery and diagonal lesions requiring percutaneous coronary intervention. Post–percutaneous coronary intervention, EKG changes resolved. The next day, the patient developed recurrent chest pain and her EKG showed diffuse T-wave inversion in precordial leads with reemerging ST segment elevations concerning for stent thrombosis. The patient underwent repeat emergent coronary angiography, which showed patent stents and findings consistent with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

COVID-19-Induced Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Concomitant Pulmonary EmbolismNamburu, Lalith V., Bhogal, Sukhdeep S., Ramu, Vijay K. 01 October 2021 (has links)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has emerged as a global pandemic with an unprecedented death toll worldwide. Although it primarily affects the respiratory tract presenting as pneumonia or acute respiratory failure, it is also known to cause significant cardiovascular complications, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), arrhythmia, myopericarditis, cardiomyopathy, venous thromboembolism, heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. Morbidity and mortality secondary to cardiovascular complications are higher in patients with preexisting cardiovascular risk factors. Here, we present a case report of a 69-year-old male who was recently diagnosed with COVID-19 illness presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and eventually with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), and the course was complicated by right atrial thrombus and a pulmonary embolism (PE).

Echocardiographic measurements of the heart : with focus on the right ventricleLoiske, Karin January 2011 (has links)
Echocardiography is a well established technique when evaluating the size and function of the heart. One of the most common ways to measure the size of the right ventricle (RV) is to measure the RV outflow tract 1(RVOT1). Several ways to measure RVOT1 are described in the literature.These ways were compared with echocardiography on 27 healthy subjects.The result showed significant differences in RVOT1, depending on the way it was measured, concluding that the same site, method and body positionshould be used when comparing RVOT1 in the same subject over time.One parameter to evaluate the RV diastolic function (RVDF) is to measure the RV isovolumetric relaxation time (RV-IVRT), a sensitive marker ofRV dysfunction. There are different ways to measure this. In this thesis two ways of measuring RV-IVRT and their time intervals were compared in 20 patients examined with echocardiography. There was a significant difference between the two methods indicating that they are not measuring the same interval.Another way to assess the RVDF is to measure the maximal early diastolicvelocity (MDV) in the long-axis direction. MDV can be measured bydifferent methods, hence 29 patients were examined and MDV was measured according to two methods. There was a good correlation but a poor agreement between the two methods meaning that reference values cannot be used interchangeably.Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by apical wall motion abnormalities without coronary stenosis. The pathology of this condition remains unclear. To evaluate biventricular changes in systolic long-axisfunction and diastolic parameters in the acute phase and after recovery, 13 patients were included and examined with echocardiography at admission and after recovery. The results showed significant biventricular improvementof systolic long-axis function while most diastolic parameters remainedunchanged.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy – an unexpected complication in spine surgeryHammer, Niels, Kühne, Christian, Meixensberger, Jürgen, Hänsel, Bernd, Winkler, Dirk 16 December 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an apical ballooning syndrome, which can be triggeredby stress. Only few case reports describe the onset of Takotsubo as a complication of neurosurgery procedures. Clinical presentation: A case of a 53 year-old female with a spinal neurinoma and surgery-associated Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is demonstrated. The patient developed typical signs of a myocardial infarction with circulation depression and ST elevation, but normal cardiac enzymes at the end of surgery. Cardiac catheterization and levocardiography confirmed the absence of any critical coronary disease but the presence of a typical apical ballooning and midventricular hypokinesis. The patient recovered completely under supportive conservative and cardiological therapy, showing regular left ventricular pumpfunction. Conclusion: Interventions in neurosurgery and perioperative care should be kept as stress free as possible. Due to the possibility of neurogenic mechanisms related to cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy as an entity of stress-induced complications should be taken into consideration.
