Acute mitral regurgitation and cardiogenic shock: Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy or acute coronary syndrome?

ABSTRACT: Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTCM) is characterized by basal ballooning and accounts for approximately 1% of all TCM. To our knowledge, there have been no reports describing rTCM complicated by acute, severe, transient mitral regurgitation (MR). A 75-year-old woman with a medical history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and anxiety presented to the hospital with 2 days of substernal chest pain, dyspnea, and nausea. Initial troponin was 0.203 ng/mL, and electrocardiography showed sinus tachycardia at 121 bpm, with inferior and anterolateral ST segment depressions. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) found an ejection fraction of 30%, apical hyperkinesis, severe hypokinesis of the basal to mid segments of the left ventricle (LV), and a severe central MR jet. Cardiac angiography demonstrated non-obstructive coronary artery disease, and elevated left ventricular end diastolic pressures. Left ventriculography showed a hyperdynamic apex and severe basal hypokinesis. The patient was treated medically, clinical status improved, and was discharged on day 3. TTE four weeks later, showed an ejection fraction of 60-65%, mild MR, and normal LV function. rTCM is the rarest variant of TCM. Basal and mid-myocardial stunning can cause severe secondary MR leading to acute congestive heart failure, mimicking acute coronary syndrome with acute MR. rTCM with rapidly reversible severe MR has not previously been described. .

Acute Coronary Syndrome Mimicking Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome?

Project description:A healthy 66-year-old female presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain, T-wave inversion in the anterior leads, and elevated troponin-I. Coronary angiography showed a stenosis in the midportion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), which did not wrap the left ventricle (LV) apex. LV angiography demonstrated a large LV apical akinetic systolic ballooning with a 45% ejection fraction. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) of LAD lesion was 0.71. Percutaneous intervention was performed. At six months, transthoracic echocardiography was normal. Fifteen months later, the patient presented with chest pain and a small rise in troponin-I. Coronary angiogram was unchanged. Repeat FFR in distal LAD was 0.86 and left ventriculography was normal. Diagnostic criteria for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) require the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. In the present case, TTC was highly suspected on the basis of typical LV apex ballooning. However, significant ischemia in the same territory was demonstrated by positive FFR, which could not be falsely positive in this context. Current TTC diagnostic criteria increase specificity for diagnosing TTC. This case reminds us that it is at the price of reduced sensitivity, since there is no reason to believe that coronary lesions may protect from TTC.

Cardiogenic shock due to acute severe ischemic mitral regurgitation.

Project description:The reduction in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during the COVID19 crisis could have resulted from fears about developing COVID-19 infection in hospital. Patients who delay presenting with STEMI are more likely to develop mechanical complications, including acute ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). We present a 69-year-old women with an inferior STEMI and cardiogenic shock due to acute ischemic MR who delayed presenting to hospital due to the fear of COVID-19. Early identification of this mechanical complication using transthoracic echocardiography in the Emergency Department enabled the team to target her optimisation. Ultimately these patients require urgent surgery to repair the mitral valve and revascularize the myocardium but they are often too unwell to undergo surgery and even when it is feasible the outcomes are poor.

Takotsubo syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock due to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, acute mitral regurgitation, and atrial fibrillation: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is generally considered a benign disease, recent reports showed the incidence of cardiogenic shock due to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO), mitral regurgitation (MR), and primary pump failure was estimated to be 6-20%.Case summaryA 78-year-old woman presented with chest pain and cold sweats 2 days after surgery for lung cancer. Acute coronary syndrome was suspected based on her symptoms, electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and laboratory data; thus, emergency catheterization was performed. Normal coronaries were observed, with hyperkinesis at the base of the left ventricle and akinesis at its apex, leading to the diagnosis of the apical ballooning type of TTS. Pressure differences between the apex of the left ventricle (168/8/28 mmHg) and aorta (94/50/64 mmHg) indicated the presence of LVOTO. Two days after TTS onset, she developed cardiogenic shock (blood pressure was 54/38 mmHg). Transthoracic echocardiography showed acute MR due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve caused by LVOTO, which was further exacerbated by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Fluid resuscitation, intravenous β-blockers, and amiodarone were administered for reduction of the pressure gradient in the left ventricular outflow, rate control, and sinus rhythm maintenance. Her condition improved along with the MR, thereby improving LVOTO and maintaining sinus rhythm.DiscussionTakotsubo syndrome should be kept in mind as a potential cause of acute MR due to LVOTO. Catheterization and multiple follow-up TTE play a major role in early detection for this condition.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy induced by acute coronary syndrome: A case report.

Project description:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) can be provoked by various triggers. It should be differentiated from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Herein, we report a case of TC triggered by ACS. An 80-year-old woman was referred to the emergency room because of prolonged chest pain and ST-segment elevations. Echocardiography demonstrated left ventricular apical ballooning, findings suggestive of TC rather than ACS. Emergency coronary angiography revealed severe stenosis of the first diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery with distal flow delay. Recanalization of the diagonal branch was achieved by stent implantation and her chest pain was resolved. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed increased signal intensities in the apex and the inner layer of the anterior wall on fat-suppressed, T2-weighted imaging. The present case highlights the importance of recognizing TC in relation to ACS not only as a differential diagnosis but also as a possibly concomitant condition unless clinical features fit one diagnosis.Learning objectiveTakotsubo cardiomyopathy can be provoked by various conditions and differentiated from acute coronary syndrome based on the presence or absence of coronary artery stenosis. Our case highlights the importance of acknowledging that takotsubo cardiomyopathy may be induced by acute coronary syndrome.

Emergent TandemHeart-ECMO for acute severe mitral regurgitation with cardiogenic shock and hypoxaemia: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundAcute severe mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening emergency. Traditional teaching has focused on the need for emergent coronary angiography and/or intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in preparation for emergent open-heart surgery for repair/replacement. Unfortunately, emergent open-heart surgery in patients with acute MR complicated by cardiogenic shock is associated with 25-46% perioperative mortality. New devices have provided additional options for stabilization prior to emergent surgery which facilitate improved outcomes.Case summaryWe present two cases of acute severe MR resulting in cardiogenic shock and profound hypoxaemia. TandemHeart® mechanical circulatory support with an oxygenator spliced into the circuit, akin to veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), facilitated haemodynamic stabilization and decongestion of the lungs facilitating successful bridge to mitral valve surgery. Successful discharge to home was achieved in both patients with good neurological outcomes and sustained long-term functional recovery at 18 and 14 months, respectively.DiscussionSelective use of the TandemHeart®, with or without ECMO, facilitates management of the critically ill cardiogenic shock patient with acute severe MR.

Cardiogenic shock due to Takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with thyroid crisis: a case report

Project description:Abstract Background The development of cardiogenic shock due to the coexistence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and thyroid crisis in patients has been scarcely reported. Case summary A 46-year-old female presented with chest pain, palpitations, nausea, and vomiting for 8 h. She was initially considered to have acute myocardial infarction due to elevated cardiac markers and abnormal electrocardiogram changes. Immediately after the coronary angiography revealed a normal coronary artery, the patient developed refractory cardiogenic shock. Echocardiography demonstrated a typical apical ballooning type of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 32%. A combination of norepinephrine and dopamine and an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was used to support haemodynamic stability but failed to improve the patient’s condition. Immediately after the laboratory tests revealed previously unknown hyperthyroidism on the second hospital day, a rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) suddenly occurred. Nifekalant successfully restored sinus rhythm in a short time. The patient persistently complained of chest tightness, palpitations, and sweating for the first 4 days until levosimendan and antithyroid crisis treatment were used. Discussion Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and thyroid crisis can co-occur and present as cardiogenic shock. In the presence of severe cardiac dysfunction and untreated hyperthyroidism, nifekalant is an ideal option for the new onset of AF. The combination of heart failure treatment and antithyroid crisis drugs can effectively restore cardiac function and is associated with good clinical outcomes.

Fluorouracil-induced Takotsubo cardiomyopathy causing cardiogenic shock: a case report of clinical and acute cardiac magnetic resonance imaging features.

Project description:Background:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS) is an extremely rare complication of fluorouracil containing chemotherapy regimes such as FOLFOX used for colorectal cancer, occurring in only five previous case reports. Due to its potentially fatal outcomes, yet infrequent presence in the literature, it is worthwhile reviewing the clinical features and outcomes of this phenomenon. Case summary:A 54-year-old lady was admitted with cardiogenic shock. A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) showed mid-ventricle to apical hypokinesis and confirmed TTS. She was managed with inotropes and non-invasive ventilation after which she recovered fully both clinically and in her CMR features 6?weeks following discharge. Discussion:This is the first case showing the acute CMR features of this complication and highlights the need for awareness of this rarely occurring cardiotoxicity. It also shows the potentially fatal phenomenon can be fully reversible when diagnosed and managed promptly even in patients with metastatic cancer and critical illness.
