Hospital Course The patient was taken emergently to the cath lab which did not reveal any significant coronary artery disease, but she was noted to have reduced EF consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. An apical OMI has the same ultrasound findings as takotsubo, and thus mimics takotsubo. Lindahl et al. From Gue at al.

As beneficial as ART Therapy is, recent studies suggest that INSTIs and CCR5 antagonists exhibit cardiovascular toxicity, raising valid concerns as it can lead to a higher risk of CVDs. Assessment of Ischemic Changes: ECGs can detect ischemic changes in the heart, offering insights into potential cardiovascular issues.
