Postoperative left ventricular apical ballooning: Transient Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following orthotopic liver transplantation
Original language description
Left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome (LVAB), also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy , is a cardiac syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of obstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. An episode of emotional stress, typically in female patients, is believed to precede and trigger the development of this syndrome. We report a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy that developed after orthotopic liver transplantation in a 51-year-old woman. On D2 (day 2) the patient had severe hemodynamic compromise. Echocardiography showed systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV), with ejection fraction (EF) of 20% and anteroapical akinesis and ballooning of the apical 2/3 of the LV. Troponin T was elevated butother markers of myocardial necrosis were negative, as was coronary angiography. From D7 onward, there was an improvement in the hemodynamics in conjunction with a gradual increase of LV EF. The patient was dismissed from the hospital on
