In Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), ST-segment elevation, T-wave inversion, and QTc prolongation are the most common electrocardiography (ECG) findings during acute and subacute periods. Right ventricular apical
This is a reversiblecardiomyopathythat occurs following a stressful event. It affectspostmenopausal womenand the clinical and ECG findings are similar to those of myocardial infarction[84]. However, TC does not showmyocardial scarringonCMRimaging. T2-weighted CMR imaging shows edema of the apical to...
The ECG findings inTakotsubo cardiomyopathy― also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy,broken-heart syndromeor apical-ballooning syndrome ― are nonspecific, meaning there is not one typical ECG appearance to diagnose this disease. Potential ECG findings include the following: ...
In the above image, a left ventricular (LV) thrombus (black arrows) is revealed in a 58-year-old woman with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). TCM, first described in 1990 by Sato et al,[1,2,3] is a transient cardiac syndrome that typically involves LV apical akinesis and basal hypercontr...

There are not any reliable ECG findings in the acute phase (that is, within 12 hours of trigger or symptom(s) onset) that can differentiate stress cardiomyopathy from ACS [15,16]. Changes during the acute phase include ST-segment elevation, new left bundle branch block, or ST-segment de...

ECG at presentation Full size image A coronary angiogram was performed immediately and was normal. The left ventricular angiogram showed apical ballooning (Fig. 2). Echocardiography showed apical dyskinesia and no other abnormalities. These findings confirmed the diagnosis: takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Fig. ...
Interestingly, Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is often preceded by emotional or physical stressors, such as death of a close relative, abuse, a quarrel, exhausting work, and after an earthquake. Patients complain of an abrupt onset of angina-like chest pain and dyspnea, resembling AMI. The EC...
