Nearly asymptomatic left ventricular apical ballooning after a hit-and-run accident.

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a syndrome that mimics acute myocardial infarction consisting of typical chest pain with acute onset and transient left ventricular wall-motion abnormalities. We present a case of a 53-year-old woman with nearly asymptomatic apical ballooning after a hit-and-run car accident. No blunt force impact occurred over the precordial area.
