Review Case ReportsTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy presenting with different morphological patterns in the same patient: a case report and review of the literature.
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which often mimics a myocardial infarction and is usually triggered by emotional or physical stress. There are four variants of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, based on the affected left ventricular area. ⋯ Classical and reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy due to different stressors have been reported in the literature individually, but up to our knowledge, both variants of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy occurring in the same patient has not been reported previously.
