Abstract
Background. takotsubo cardiomyopathy (tcm) occurs more frequently in cancer patients than in the general population. The triggers for tcm in cancer patients include not only the inflammatory state of the cancer itself, but also the significant emotional stress of a cancer diagnosis and the physical stress associated with invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures.Case presentation. We describe the case of a 54-yearold woman with histologically verified rectosigmoid junction cancer (cT4bcN2M0) complicated by acute intestinal obstruction. In the early postoperative period, a sudden drop in blood pressure, t-wave inversion and Qt-interval prolongation on ecg, decrease in the left ventricle contractility and presence of wall motion abnormalities on echocardiography (ecHo), as well as an increase in biomarkers of myocardial damage were initially regarded as acute coronary syndrome, which was subsequently excluded according to the findings of coronary angiography, which did not reveal coronary artery obstruction. taking into account the rapid and complete inverse dynamics of changes, acute myocardial infarction without coronary artery obstruction and acute myocarditis were excluded. Ultimately, the diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy was established.Conclusion. this case report indicates that cancer can be a trigger for the development of tcm; therefore, the assessment of cardiological status and timely detection of cardiac complications in cancer patients during cancer treatment is extremely important and is aimed at increasing the overall survival in this category of patients.
期刊介绍:
The main objectives of the journal are: -to promote the establishment of Russia’s leading worldwide positions in the field of experimental and clinical oncology- to create the international discussion platform intended to cover all aspects of basic and clinical cancer research, including carcinogenesis, molecular biology, epidemiology, cancer prevention, diagnosis and multimodality treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy), anesthetic management, medical and social rehabilitation, palliative care as well as the improvement of life quality of cancer patients- to encourage promising young scientists to be actively involved in cancer research programs- to provide a platform for researches and doctors all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in cancer related problems. (to create a communication platform for the expansion of cooperation between Russian and foreign professional associations).- to provide the information about the latest worldwide achievements in different fields of oncology The most important tasks of the journal are: -to encourage scientists to publish their research results- to offer a forum for active discussion on topics of major interest - to invite the most prominent Russian and foreign authors to share their latest research findings with cancer research community- to promote the exchange of research information, clinical experience, current trends and the recent developments in the field of oncology as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world- to expand the editorial board and reviewers with the involvement of well-known Russian and foreign experts- to provide open access to full text articles- to include the journal into the international database- to increase the journal’s impact factor- to promote the journal to the International and Russian markets
