Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, also known as Broken Heart Syndrome, Stress Cardiomyopathy or Apical Ballooning Syndrome, is a condition that impairs the heart's ability to contract effectively. Takotsubo means octopus trap in Japanese, which is the shape the left ventricle resembles in this condition. We look at Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy pathology and symptoms, diagnosis including ECG changes as well as treatment. PDFs available here: https://rhesusmedicine.com/pages/cardiologyConsider subscribing (if you found any of the info useful!): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRks8wB6vgz0E7buP0L_5RQ?sub_confirmation=1Timestamps:0:00 What is Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy? 0:36 Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Pathology / Causes1:59 Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Risk Factors2:54 Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Symptoms3:14 Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Diagnosis 4:14 Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Treatment & Prognosis LINK TO SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.instagram.com/rhesusmedicine/ReferencesAhmad, S.A., Khalid, N. & Ibrahim, M.A., 2023.
