Transient Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in an Elderly Patient Admitted with Takotsubo
A 68-year-old elderly individual presented with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and echocardiography revealed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a substantial gradient, particularly exacerbated by the Valsalva maneuver. Resolution occurred within a few days through meticulous fluid management...

description | A 68-year-old elderly individual presented with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and echocardiography revealed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a substantial gradient, particularly exacerbated by the Valsalva maneuver. Resolution occurred within a few days through meticulous fluid management and beta-blocker administration, concurrent with an improvement in ejection fraction. |
