CAROTID AND PERIPHERAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN PATIENTS UNDERWENT TO PRIMARY PCI AND OUTCOME ASSOCIATED WITH MULTIFOCAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Two cases of tako-tsubo cardiomyophaty in Caucasians
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a recently described disease characterized by chest pain, transient left ventricular dysfunction and specific electrocardiographic changes. The disease takes its name from the typical left apical ballooning observed at left ventriculogram. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy was first described by Sato in 1990. Since then sporadic cases were reported by Japanese authors, and only a few European publications are available. We describe 2 cases of patients affected by this syndrome.
