Peri-Operative Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Case Series Alicia M Kowalski Jeff Cerny Spencer Kee Farzin Goravanchi Elizabeth Rebello<p>Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TC) is a reversible, stress-induced, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy associated with temporary weakness of the myocardium and midventricular or apical ballooning [1,2]. Angina, ST abnormalities, elevated troponins, ventricular asynergy, CHF, and decreased EF are all components of TC. The unique finding is that they occur on the absence of CAD [3]. In this case series with IRB approval we report three cases of post-operative cardiac symptoms that all resulted in a diagnosis of TC.</p> Global Journal of Anesthesiology - Peertechz Publications 2015-08-03 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-3476.000012 en Copyright © Alicia M Kowalski et al.
