Stress cardiomyopathy: takotsubo
Keywords:
stress cardiomyopathy, transient apical dyskinesia, left ventricular dysfunctionAbstract
Clinic. A 83-year-old woman who presented with acute chest pain after an intense emotional stimulus.
Diagnostic tests. EKG showed negative T waves in anterior and ultrasensitive troponins were raised. The echocardiogram showed an intensely depressed with akinesia media and distal segments of all sides and apex, with conventional coronary angiography systolic function without significant lesions. The MRI was consistent with stress cardiomyopathy (ECM) takotsubo.
Discussion. of uncertain origin, the ECM can mimic myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries and good prognosis.
