The article describes the current understanding of the takotsubo syndrome concerning the issues of pathogenesis, differential diagnosis with acute coronary syndrome and strategy of management. There is presented our own clinical observation of a patient with an atypical form of cardiac dysfunction and myocardial geometry.

Letter To The Editor

AbstractOver the period from December 3rd, 2019 to March 13th, 2020, after the urgent field safety notice reported by Roche, we performed double determinations of all troponins from the same tube in parallel and in the same run. We used the same Elecsys troponin T hs reagent (ref 08469873190), first result was obtained with the current hs-cTnT application (18 min) and the second measurement was with the STAT application (9 min). On the 11,388 results in the range from 3 to 500 ng/L, we observed 4.18% discordant results (above 18.8% RCV). Overall, we observed an overestimation of the hs-cTnT STAT assay. The Elecsys Troponin T hs STAT assay demonstrated good analytical performances on Cobas e801 analyzer. However, its use according to the ESC recommendations for the 0 h/1 h algorithm should be carefully evaluated and requires further studies with serial cTn testing.

Objectives: This is the first case report of iatrogenic Takotsubo syndrome (TS) due to a combination of lisdexamfetamine and phentermine. Background: TS is characterized by transient acute ballooning of the left ventricular wall. Typically, it occurs in extremely stressed post-menopausal women, however a few iatrogenic causes have been described recently. Results: A 55-year old woman prescribed lisdexamfetamine and phentermine, presented with acute substernal chest pain. Acute coronary syndrome was excluded. The echocardiogram was diagnostic of TS, and she recovered spontaneously, with supportive care. Conclusion: Caution with the use of sympathomimetic medications in post-menopausal women appears warranted.

Takotsubo syndrome has increasingly been recognized in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with acute chest pain. Those affected are typically older women suffering after an emotional or physical stress. Normally it is a transient condition but complications including death have been reported. We reported a case of takotsubo syndrome who was initially diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome. The patient presented with typical angina, ST-T segment changes, and elevated high sensitive–troponin I. Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed mild left atrial dilatation and left ventricle concentric hypertrophy, reduced left ventricle ejection fraction with circumferential hypokinetic, apical ballooning, systolic anterior motion, left ventricle outflow tract obstruction, and sigmoid septum hypertrophy. One month later, patient recovered and transthoracic echocardiography revealed improved heart anatomy and function. To differentiate takotsubo syndrome with other conditions, especially acute coronary syndrome, is crucial. Their clinical presentations are similar but the managements are different. The transthoracic echocardiography holds an important role in supporting the diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome.
