Abstract

Among all cardiovascular diseases in Russia, the most common reason for adults seeking medical attention is various forms of ischemic heart disease (IHD), including its acute forms denoted by the term “acute coronary syndrome” (ACS). Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (CMP) is one of the diseases that physicians treating ACS face. In both cases, the main complaints are chest pain and/or shortness of breath, and during ECG, most patients (up to 90 %) have ST segment elevation. The article presents clinical cases of patients with Takotsubo syndrome, a stress-induced cardiomyopathy that mimics acute myocardial infarction. It described 3 cases of the disease in women of 34, 42 and 64 years of age. The emotional or physical stress very often plays a role in the etiopathogenesis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; however, in the patients we examined, acutely manifested cardiomyopathy was not provoked by a stressful situation, but a physical history was present in 3 women treated by us. The ECG showed a picture of acute myocardial infarction, the echocardiography showed signs of left ventricular dysfunction, zones of impaired local contractility of the left ventricular segments, while selective coronary angiography did not reveal stenotic changes in subepicardial coronary arteries. Within 5-9 days, the listed changes underwent complete regression against the background of medical therapy in the hospital.
