[Apical ballooning syndrome in a 57-year-old woman during premedication for general anaesthesia].
Apical ballooning after sudden emotional stress is a new syndrome characterised by abrupt onset of angina-like chest pain, ST-segment elevation, wall motion abnormalities involving the lower anterior wall and apex without significant coronary artery stenosis. We present a case of a 57-year-old woman with apical ballooning syndrome which occurred during premedication the general anaesthesia. We also found an increased B-type natriuretic peptide level in this patent--the finding not reported previously in the literature.
