Takotsubo in Acute and Chronic Coronary Artery Disease.


ABSTRACT: Cardiomyopathy of Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is typically triggered by an emotional stress in postmenopausal women. Coexistent coronary artery disease presents diagnostic dilemmas in patients with TS, as seen in the 2 cases presented. In the first case, acute coronary syndrome acts as a physical trigger for TS when a middle-aged man presents with an inferior myocardial infarct, and in the second case, coronary artery disease is a bystander when an elderly woman develops TS after a fall and facial trauma. The novel teaching point is that acute non-left anterior descending acute coronary syndrome could trigger TS.
