“…These names were accompanied by an equally confusing number of abbreviations. Accordingly, a substantial debate on the nomenclature emerged [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], which was also related to different diagnostic criteria (see below). In recent times, most scientists and TS experts agree to use the term "Takotsubo syndrome, " abbreviated either as "TS" or "TTS. "…”

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute cardiac condition characterized by transient wall motion abnormalities mostly of the left ventricle. First described in 1990, TS has gained substantial attention during the past 15 years. However, the disease is still underdiagnosed. Prospective studies on TS are largely lacking, and the condition remains incompletely understood. In addition, significant misconceptions and misunderstandings are evident, contributing to potentially severe underestimation. Here, we review important aspects of TS with a focus on pitfalls, misinterpretations, and knowledge gaps considered important during diagnosis and management of the disease.

Transient left ventricular apical ballooning also called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a recently described cardiac syndrome. It often affects postmenopausal women having an acute physical or emotional stress, but it have also been described after convulsive status epilepticus. Although this association is rare and left ventricular function often recovers, it would be useful to the neurologist to be aware of the signs leading to this diagnosis, to improve the cardiac later care. Here we report a patient with partial status epilepticus in whom the diagnosis of transient left ventricular apical ballooning was made. We describe the diagnostic criteria and the potential complications that should be monitored.

“…Four types of TTC have been described [6]. The classic or typical type with akinetic apex and mid‐ventricular segment with normal or hypercontractile base, the inverted or the reversed type with akinetic or hypokinetic base and mid‐ventricular segment and normal or hypercontractile apex, the mid‐ventricular type with normal apex and base but dyskinetic mid‐ventricular segment and finally, the localized type with contractile dysfunction in the distribution of an epicardial coronary artery.…”

TTC can be identified as a rapid development of severe and reversible left ventricular dysfunction extending beyond the territory of a single epicardial coronary artery in the absence of coronary artery disease or pheochromocytoma. Clinical presentation can be challenging and very hard to distinguish from acute myocardial infarction. Medication induced-TTC has been reported. In our case, the patient overdosed on Adderall which is a sympathomimetic medication. Cardiac imaging identified wall motion abnormalities consistent with inverted type TTC. Restoration of left ventricular function within days confirms the diagnosis of TTC. In conclusion, this case offers an interesting insight into the pathophysiology of TTC.
