A Case of Takotsubo Card

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also called stress cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome and apical ballooning syndrome, is a heart problem that ocurs after intense stress, sadness or shock. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy usually presents with chest pain and dyspnea 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.
