  • Title: An atypical presentation of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Cambronero F, Peñafiel P, Moreno V, Nolte C, Valdés M.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2010 Feb 04; 138(3):e53-5. PubMed ID: 18757105.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a patient with Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy whose initial diagnosis, based on the location of shoulder and chest pain and electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, suggested that she was suffering from pericarditis. However, 24 h after admission, evolutionary changes of ECG and the echocardiogram performed suggested a Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy. In this context, we review the literature to discuss the clinical presentation and evolutionary ECG changes associated with Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy.
