May aid recognition of mid-ventricular ballooning post-asthma; leaves open prevalence, triggers, and outcomes in larger cohorts.
Azzarelli et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Transient left mid ventricular ballooning (n=1). Bronchial asthma crisis was evaluated on Left ventricular wall motion recovery. An 85-year-old woman presenting with transient left mid ventricular ballooning after an asthma crisis demonstrated complete normalization of left ventricular wall motion at 1-month follow-up.
