Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in siblings

Abstract: We report the case of apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) in a female sibling. A 64-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with sudden-onset chest pain. Cardiac enzymes were mildly elevated and an electrocardiogram showed broad ST-T changes. Emergency coronary angiography revealed no culprit lesion and left ventriculography demonstrated focal akinesis of the apical wall, which was consistent with ABS. Myocardial functional sympathetic innervations assessed using [(123)I]metaiodobenzylguanidine was severely i… Show more

“…Although the syndrome is not considered a primary genetic cardiomyopathy, a number of studies have explored the possibility of genetic risk factors. A genetic predisposition has been suggested based on the few familial Takotsubo syndrome cases described . Conflicting results have been published regarding the presence or absence of functional polymorphisms in relevant candidate genes, such as α1‐, β1‐, and β2‐adrenergic receptors, GRK5 , and oestrogen receptors.…”

“…Znaczenie wyrzutu katecholamin potwierdza opis przypadku wtórnego zespołu takotsubo u 59-letniego mężczyzny z pheochromocytoma [6]. Niekiedy sugeruje się genetyczną skłonność, o czym może świadczyć wystąpienie tego zespołu u rodzeństwa [7].…”
