Abstract
Transient left ventricular apical ballooning (AB), an emerging syndrome that mimics acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI), is characterized by reversible left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in the absence of obstructive coronary heart disease. In contrast to patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) the in-hospital mortality rate seems to be low. Even though excess sympathetic activity plays a major part in the origin of this syndrome, arrhythmias have not yet been systematically investigated in this clinical entity.
