Transient left ventricular and stomach apical ballooning syndromes: when the trigger is also a clinical emergency

Volvulus is Stressful: Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy Secondary to Gastric Volvulus and Paraesophageal Hernia

“…While a great physiological stress inducer, gastric volvulus is an exceedingly rare cause of SCM. Zawaideh et al reported a case of mid-ventricular SCM in the setting of gastric volvulus due to diaphragmatic hernia, with complete resolution of cardiac function upon treating the volvulus [ 10 ]. To our knowledge, there have been no other reports associating SCM with gastric volvulus.…”

Potential causes of sudden cardiac death in nemaline myopathy

“…Were there indications on ECG or echocardiography that sudden cardiac death resulted from stress cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome, or stunned myocardium? Takotsubo syndrome may occur even in the absence of systolic dysfunction [ 8 ]. Was there any possible trigger leviable shortly before the event that could have induced anxiety?…”
