We describe a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in an elderly woman after status epilepticus. In an emergency echocardiography, not only left ventricular apical ballooning but also right ventricular apical hypokinesia was observed. After a medical management, the patient's condition was improved and a follow-up echocardiography showed substantial recovery of left and right ventricular apical ballooning.
我们描述了一例老年女性在癫痫持续状态后发生的Takotsubo心肌病病例。在急诊超声心动图检查中,不仅观察到左心室心尖部气球样变,还发现右心室心尖部运动减弱。经过药物治疗后,患者病情好转,随访超声心动图显示左、右心室心尖部气球样变明显恢复。
