We evaluated left ventricular (LV) function by three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) in a patient with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC). An 82-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a suspicion of acute myocardial infarction but was diagnosed as TC by coronary angiography and left ventriculography (LVG). Three-dimensional echocardiography showed circular asynergy from the midventricle to the apex associated with hyperkinesis of the base and volumetric data very close to those obtained by LVG. Thus, 3DE is a useful tool in evaluating regional wall motion abnormalities and LV volume in patients with TC.
我们通过三维超声心动图（3DE）对一名应激性心肌病（TC）患者的左心室（LV）功能进行了评估。一名82岁男性因疑似急性心肌梗死入院，但经冠状动脉造影和左心室造影（LVG）诊断为TC。三维超声心动图显示从中心室到心尖的环形运动不协调，伴有心底运动亢进，容积数据与LVG获得的数据非常接近。因此，3DE是评估TC患者局部室壁运动异常和左心室容积的有用工具。
