Abstract :Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also called stress cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome and apical ballooning syndrome, is a heart problem that occurs after intense stress, sadness or shock. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy usually presents with chest pain and dyspnoea and is similar to the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. Echocardiography and coronary angiography have an important role in the diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. In this case report, we wanted to investigate Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a 59-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department.
Keywords : Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, Broken heart syndrome, Acute coronary syndrome
