Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Marked ST-Segment Elevation and Electrical Alternans Complicated With Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State

This is the first report of a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with a hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS). This case presented with marked ST-segment elevation and electrical alternans, uncommon findings in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We believe that hyperosmolarity-induced myocardial dehydration a...

Zusammenfassung:This is the first report of a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with a hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS). This case presented with marked ST-segment elevation and electrical alternans, uncommon findings in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We believe that hyperosmolarity-induced myocardial dehydration and consequent increase in intracellular calcium concentration may be the mechanism of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and electrical alternans in HHS.
