Abstract
|
|
|
|
We describe a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in an elderly woman after status epilepticus. In an emergency echocardiography, not only left ventricular apical ballooning but also right ventricular apical hypokinesia was observed. After a medical management, the patient’s condition was improved and a follow-up echocardiography showed substantial recovery of left and right ventricular apical ballooning.
