Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as apical ballooning syndrome or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, typically presents with features of the acute coronary syndrome. It is characterized by left ventricular apical akinesis and transient systolic dysfunction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Although its pathogenesis remains unclear, it is thought to be a catecholamine surge that is produced following intense physical or emotional stress. We present a case of TCM in a patient with small bowel obstruction (SBO), which is a rare trigger.
应激性心肌病(TCM),也称为心尖球囊综合征或应激性心肌病,通常表现为急性冠状动脉综合征的特征。其特征是在无阻塞性冠状动脉疾病的情况下出现左心室心尖运动减弱和短暂的收缩功能障碍。尽管其发病机制尚不清楚,但认为是在剧烈的身体或情绪应激后产生的儿茶酚胺激增所致。我们报告一例小肠梗阻(SBO)患者发生的应激性心肌病,这是一种罕见的诱因。
