Takotsubo Syndrome

An unusual case of cardiac sarcoidosis is described. A woman with biopsy proven lung sarcoidosis was presented on admission in hospital as ventricular tachycardia and non Q myocardial infarction. Ultrasound of the heart and coronarography examination presented Takotsubo syndrome, “ballooning heart” and normal blood vessels. Cardiac sarcoidosis and Takotsubo syndrome are diseases where definitive etiological factor was not found. This case report suggests the existence of their similar pathogenesis. As far as we know, this is the first described connection between Takotsubo syndrome and cardiac sarcoidosis.

Abstract Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often complicated with multiple arrhythmias, especially ventricular arrhythmias, including sustained ventricular tachycardia (SVT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are often presages progressive heart failure in 48 hours. The present study reports a case of electrical storm (ES) occurring in an 84-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Case presentation: With the defibrillations or amiodarone, the recurrence of ventricular tachycardia inhibited and the electrocardiographic pattern normalized.Conclusions: The results suggest that defibrillations and amiodarone may be able to improve the survival rate of patients with ES with AMI and would be considered as an alternative treatment for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and invasive catheter ablation in the management of cardiac ES.

Catheterization Procedure

We report a 61-year-old patient who suffered from a type A aortic dissection that mimicked an acute inferior myocardial infarction. During a routine cardiac catheterization procedure, diagnostic catheters can be inserted accidentally into the false lumen. Invasive cardiologists should keep this complication in mind.
