“…On the other hand, almost 20% of TC patients in western countries had a family history of premature CAD (5,14). The present study showed that there was a significantly higher percentage of TC patients who had a family history of premature CAD in USA as compared to in Japan.…”

“…Therefore, researchers have considered Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) to have a high prevalence in Japanese population. Recently a syndrome with the same characteristics as TC was observed and reported in other countries including USA and Europe (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). However, the differences in the characteristics have not yet been precisely clarified.…”

Objective Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) mimics myocardial infarction and is well defined and known to not only Japan but also western countries. However, whether or not there are differences in the characteristics of TC between Japan and USA remains unknown. Patients Data for patients who had undergone urgent left heart catheterization for suspected acute coronary syndrome were retrospectively retrieved from Keio University School of Medicine (KUSM) database in Japan and Lahey Clinic Medical Center (LCMC) database in USA between 2002 and 2007. Results During the study period, 626 coronary angiographies were performed in KUSM and 1,880 coronary angiographies were performed in LCMC. Twelve patients in Japan and 34 patients in USA met the inclusion criteria. Mean age of patients in Japan was 75 years where 92% were women, compared to 67 years and 94% women in USA. Although the prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus were similar between Japan and USA, there was a trend towards fewer patients in Japan displaying a history of coronary revascularization. Surprisingly, a family history of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) was present in 21% of USA patients, whereas no patients were present in Japan. There were no differences in the incidence of readmission for heart failure, cardiac death and TC recurrence during the follow-up period. Conclusion Patients with TC in Japan have fewer prior overt CAD and fewer family history of premature CAD, but no significant differences were found in the long-term prognosis and the recurrence rate between patients in Japan and USA.

“…Originally described in 1990 by Japanese scientists takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as broken heart syndrome, stress cardiomyopathy or left ventricular apical ballooning, constitutes about 2% of all acute coronary syndrome cases [1,2]. Classically in TCM, the appearance of the left ventricle during the coronarography procedure mimics the shape of an octopus trap named "tako tsubo".…”

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy resulting from exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a medical condition characterized by a transient left ventricular apical dysfunction with unknown etiology. The clinical presentation mimics acute myocardial syndrome in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. The association between acute pancreatitis and TCM, however, is rarely reported in the literature. To date, no cases of TCM resulting from the exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis have been described.
