    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2008 Jul 21; 127(3):420-2. PubMed ID: 17692968.
    Abstract:
    The Tako-Tsubo syndrome is a clinical entity recently described that associate a chest pain occurring during a stress, an abnormal ECG and/or an increase in the troponin blood level and a transient left ventricular dysfunction with an akinesis involving generally the midsection and the apex of the heart. It has also been reported that left ventricle (LV) dysfunction may involve only the midventricle, although it seems less common. We report the case of a 66 year old woman that developed a stress-induced cardiomyopathy (Tako-Tsubo syndrome) involving the midventricle when performing an exercise echocardiography. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in such circumstances.
