ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Tako Tsubo es una entidad clínica de aturdimiento miocárdico intenso, secundario a una liberación suprafisiológica de catecolaminas; dicha situación se desata luego de un evento estresante previo, simulando un síndrome coronario agudo, pero con la confirmación diagnóstica la angiografía coronaria denota permeabilidad de las arterias que descarta el evento isquémico y se muestra igualmente el balonamiento del ápice cardíaco en sístole, la cual confirma esta patología. Se presenta un caso manejado en la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital Departamental Universitario del Quindío San Juan de Dios, institución de tercer nivel, en la ciudad de Armenia, Quindío, Colombia...


Tako Tsubo syndrome is an entity characterized by intense myocardial stunning secondary to a supraphysiological catecholamine release.

A case report which took place at the “Hospital Departamental Universitario del Quindío San Juan de Dios” in the city of Armenia, Quindío (Colombia) is presented in this article...
