Abstract
|
|
|
|
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy presents with diverse electrocardiographic changes, possibly masquerading as an acute coronary syndrome, and may occur after psychological, medical, or surgical stress. We describe a case of a 69-year-old woman with sick sinus syndrome, repolarization abnormalities, akinesia of the left ventricular apex, and normal coronary arteries. The patient’s electrocardiographic and echocardiographic abnormalities normalized after the implantation of a permanent pacemaker; cardiac events did not recur within a 5-year follow-up period.
