Approximately 20% of patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) develop complications such as left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). The published data suggest that a significant proportion of these patients have predisposing septal hypertrophy or sigmoid septum. However, the pathophysiology regarding this connection has not yet been fully elucidated. We herein present the case of a 75-year-old female patient with TTS complicated by LVOTO, which was successfully managed. During the follow-up, mild basal septal hypertrophy was observed. Subsequent exercise and dobutamine stress echocardiography were performed to reveal the mechanism of LVOTO in TTS.
约20%的应激性心肌病(TTS)患者会出现诸如左心室流出道梗阻(LVOTO)等并发症。已发表的数据表明,这些患者中有很大一部分存在易患性的室间隔肥厚或乙状结肠样室间隔。然而,关于这种关联的病理生理学尚未完全阐明。我们在此介绍一例75岁女性TTS患者并发LVOTO且成功治疗的病例。随访期间,观察到轻度的基底室间隔肥厚。随后进行运动和多巴酚丁胺负荷超声心动图检查以揭示TTS中LVOTO的机制。
