    Apical Ballooning Syndrome in a Postoperative Patient with Normal Microvascular Perfusion by Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

    ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 7 2005
    Gautam Ramakrishna M.D.
    Apical ballooning syndrome is classically described as transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, marked LV akinesia, and normal or near-normal coronary arteries. The etiology is unclear and there is limited information based on case reports and small case series. We describe a 35-year-old woman who underwent surgical hepatectomy and developed apical ballooning syndrome in the postoperative period. The novel use of myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) in this setting demonstrated intact microvascular perfusion and lack of coronary flow-limiting abnormalities despite apical akinesis. In select patients with similar clinical presentations, performing MCE is safe and may be pursued as an alternative to invasive coronary angiography. [source]

    Mid-Ventricular Ballooning Heart Syndrome

    ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 4 2007
    Jean Marc Aubert M.D.
    Stress cardiomyopathies have been increasingly reported these last years, especially in women as a transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome. We report six cases in whom, in the context of anxious situations, echocardiograms and ventriculographies revealed mid-ventricular akinesis with preservation of apical and basal contractilities with normal coronary arteriography. This "mid-ventricular ballooning heart syndrome " should probably be classified as a new type of heart stress related syndrome. [source]
