Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is an under recognised clinical entity characterised by acute reversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction that mimics acute myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease; typically occurring in the setting of profound stress.1 ABS disproportionately affects older women and recurrences are infrequent. We, hereby, describe a rare phenomenon of recurrent ABS in an elderly male patient, 10 years apart, presenting with the same left ventricular morphological appearance following non-cardiac surgeries. The case illustrates the importance of considering ABS in the differential diagnosis of perioperative acute myocardial infarction in older men undergoing major surgery.

AbstractTakotsubo cardiomyopathy or transient apical ballooning syndrome very rarely presents in children. In all patients with takotsubo, it is estimated that only 3.5% will have recurrence. In this study, we describe a case of recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a child, likely triggered by status epilepticus.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome, is characterized by acute left ventricular dysfunction caused by transient wall-motion abnormalities of the left ventricular apex and mid ventricle in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Recurrent episodes are rare but have been reported, and several cases of takotsubo cardiomyopathy have been described in the presence of hyperthyroidism. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who had recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy, documented by repeat coronary angiography and evaluations of left ventricular function, in the presence of recurrent hyperthyroidism related to Graves disease. After both episodes, the patient's left ventricular function returned to normal when her thyroid function normalized. These findings suggest a possible role of thyroid-hormone excess in the pathophysiology of some patients who have takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
