Presented at: Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine in Atlanta Georgia.
BACKGROUND
•Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a transient, reversible acute cardiac syndrome that mimics acute MI
•Reportedly frequently precipitated by an emotionally stressful event
•Excessive catecholamine release is a possible pathophysiologic mechanism1
•Prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders in TCM patients varies among studies, ranging from 21-40%2,3

BACKGROUND
•Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM):
•transient left ventricular dysfunction
•ECG changes and symptoms mimicking acute MI
•often precipitated by emotional stressor
•Catatonia is a psychomotor syndrome most commonly seen in mood disorders
•This is the first known reported case of TCM co-occurring with catatonia in the setting of acute psychological trauma and bereavement

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Left atrial volume (LAV) measurement by conventional two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) may be limited by the geometric model, by suboptimal definition of left atrial endocardium, or by chamber foreshortening. Three-dimensional (3D) TTE is posited to eliminate chamber foreshortening, and LAV measurement by 3D TTE should be more reflective of true LAV. The aim of this study was to compare conventional 2D TTE and newer 3D TTE for measurements of LAV to multidetector computed tomographic (MDCT) measurements using automated chamber reconstruction (ACR).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-two subjects consented to undergo 2D TTE and 3D TTE immediately prior …

Trends In The Utilization Of Outpatient Advanced Imaging After The Deficit Reduction Act., David C Levin, Vijay M Rao, Laurence Parker
Department of Radiology Faculty Papers
PURPOSE: After the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) took effect in 2007, there was concern that private office-based imaging facilities would close, that advanced imaging would shift to less convenient hospital-based facilities, and that access to advanced imaging might be restricted. The aim of this study was to see if these developments occurred during the years after the DRA.
METHODS: Using Medicare data, outpatient CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine trends before and after the DRA were studied. Procedure volumes performed in private offices and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) were tabulated separately. Volumes were tracked from 2000 to 2006 (before the DRA) …
