RESUMEN
El síndrome de takotsubo (disquinesia apical transitoriadel ventrículo izquierdo) es una entidad descritarecientemente y a menudo infradiagnosticada. Se observapredominantemente en mujeres postmenopáusicas ysu presentación clínica es muy similar a la de un infartoagudo de miocardio anterior. En la mayoría de loscasos descritos se identifica como desencadenante unevento de estrés que puede ser emocional o físico, y elestrés perioperatorio se ha postulado como responsablede algunos de ellos. Con el tratamiento adecuado el pronósticoes favorable, si bien son posibles las recurrencias.Describimos el manejo anestésico de una pacientede 79 años diagnosticada previamente de un episodio desíndrome de takotsubo que ingresó en nuestro hospitalpara colocación de prótesis total de cadera. Tras unapremedicación ansiolítica cuidadosa se practicó anestesiaraquídea hiperbárica, seguida de sedación intravenosacon propofol. El procedimiento quirúrgico y elpostoperatorio inmediato transcurrieron sin incidencias.Consideramos prioritario minimizar la ansiedadperioperatoria en estos pacientes, dado el posible papelde una descarga catecolamínica como desencadenantede un episodio de síndrome de takotsubo (AU)
ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (transient apicalballooning of the left ventricle) is a recently described andoften underdiagnosed entity. The syndrome is observedpredominately in postmenopausal women and the clinicalsigns are similar to those of an acute anterior myocardialinfarction. In most of the reported cases an emotional orphysical stress event has been identified as a trigger, andperioperative stress has been suggested as the trigger insome of these cases. Outcome is favorable with the righttreatment, though recurrences are possible. We reportthe anesthetic management of a 79-year-old womanwith a previously diagnosed episode of Takotsubocardiomyopathy, who was admitted to our hospital fortotal hip replacement. Care was taken to provide properpreoperative sedation before provision of hyperbaricspinal anesthesia, followed by sedation with intravenouspropofol. Surgery and the early postoperative period wereuneventful. We believe that minimizing perioperativeanxiety should be a priority in these patients due to thepossibility that a catecholamine discharge might triggeran episode of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (AU)
