Abstract:Background
Direct current cardioversion is a well-established and safe procedure to restore normal sinus rhythm for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Takotsubo syndrome has been rarely described with cardioversion. We reviewed the literature for descriptions of Takotsubo syndrome associated with the stress of cardioversion, to better understand its risks.
Methods
We queried MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar and Cochrane for cases of Takotsubo syndr… Show more
“…Данные, полученные в ходе анализа, не противоречат продемонстрированным нами в представленной работе. При этом роль в разв итии синдрома такоцубо определена как для прямого повреждающего электрического воздействия на миокард, так и для катехоламин-опосредованного влияния [7].…”
The paper presents a description of the diagnosis and treatment of takotsubo syndrome in a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion. A case report clearly reflects the need for an integrated diagnostic approach to verify the diagnosis using dynamic echocardiography, electrocardiography, angiographic and tomographic investigations. The complexity of differential diagnosis in this case was an atypical variant of myocardial dysfunction. Follow-up made it possible to track the clinical improvement of the patient and the almost complete normalization of myocardial contractility in terms characteristic of takotsubo syndrome.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
