Atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation is safe and effective, though rare cases of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have been observed without proven causation. This review synthesizes TTS following AF ablation case reports and series. Until October 2024, PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched for AF ablation and TTS case reports and series.

is associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia in humans. -knockout (-/- mice develop acute hydrocephalus shortly after birth owing to impaired ciliary motility and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) stagnation. In contrast to chronic adult-onset hydrocephalus observed in other models, this rapid ventricular enlargement indicates additional factors beyond CSF stagnation.

Article Synopsis
  • A 74-year-old male with Kartagener's syndrome and permanent atrial fibrillation underwent successful cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and atrioventricular node (AVN) ablation using remote magnetic navigation (RMN) through peripheral access.
  • The patient had severe heart failure, a low ejection fraction of 30%, and significant complications from a left bundle branch block, leading to unsuccessful bi-ventricular pacing prior to the procedure.
  • Post-ablation, the patient's bi-ventricular pacing efficiency improved to 100%, and there were notable improvements in both cardiac function and overall symptoms, highlighting the effectiveness of RMN-guided techniques in treating complex cardiac cases.

Intraoperative Takotsubo Syndrome.

Department of Surgery, Service of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, University of Medicine, Tirana, Albania.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare condition that presents a diagnostic challenge due to its close resemblance to acute myocardial ischemia and other cardiac disorders. The excessive production of catecholamines triggers abnormal and severe changes in the myocardium, typically resulting in significant dyskinesia of the left ventricle's apex, reduced ejection fraction, hypotension, and pulmonary edema. Recent reports suggest that potential risk factors may include postmenopausal syndrome and intense, unexpected stress, whether related to life events or medical conditions.
