Iatrogenic epinephrine-induced Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in beta-blocker poisoning: case report

Abstract: Termínem stresová (takotsubo) kardiomyopatie se označuje přechodná dysfunkce levé komory s poruchou kinetiky její stěny; tento stav připomíná infarkt myokardu bez akutní formy ischemické choroby srdeční. I když patofyziologie tohoto postižení zatím nebyla zcela objasněna, bylo již publikováno několik různých hypotéz. Popisujeme případ stresové kardiomyopatie u 18letého muže vyvolané několika faktory. Kazuistika: Dosud zdravý 18letý mladík původem ze severní Afriky byl dopraven na oddělení akutních příjmů pro o… Show more

“…Many works have been published that reported on the iatrogenic causes of the development of TTS. They mainly referred to some consequences of treatment with catecholamines [37,38]. So, in an article by A. Azouzi et al a case with an 18-year-old North African male delivered by the emergency ambulance upon his β-blocker acebutolol intoxication is treated.…”

“…Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is described as a pathology with a good prognosis characterized by the presence of a transient left ventricular wall disease without signifi cant culprit obstructive CAD. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The "golden standard" for a defi nitive diagnosis is invasive coronary angiography and ventriculography, with an integrated multi-imaging approach, such as echocardiography, fi rst--line non-invasive technique, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), in order to discriminate TS from other acute cardiac syndromes with troponin elevation and ventricular disfunction. [16][17][18][19] Important hallmarks of TS are a relatively small increase in T/I troponin, the left ventricle "apical ballooning" (wall motion diskinesis characterized by apical akinesis and basal hyperkinesis) at echocardiography and ventriculography associated with normal epicardial coronary vessels at angiography.…”

“…This condition mimics an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) because of the symptoms and the new onset of ST segment elevation and/or negative T waves, but without fi ndings of acute obstructive coronary artery disease at angiography, although these can be present in 10-29% of cases. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The diagnosis is made with invasive coronary angiography and ventriculography, together with transthoracic echocardiography which can show different patterns: typical "apical ballooning" of the left ventricle (LV), characterized by apical akinesis and hyperkinesis of the basal segments, or atypical patterns, including the midventricular, basal, and focal wall motion patterns, all of these with reduced ejection fraction. 20 The exact mechani- sm of TTS is unknown, but it is hypothesized that a sudden massive surge of circulatory catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline) from a physical or emotional stress may play a central role.…”
