Stress cardiomyopathy (SCM) is a clinical phenomenon presenting symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome and defined by acute, but transient, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and left ventricular wall motion abnormalities. However, no obstructive coronary lesion is identified on catheterization, and pathognomic echocardiogram findings are typically encountered. Multiple causes have been posited in the literature (e.

In clinical practice, dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in the setting of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has been regarded as an early-onset complication typically emerging in accordance with wall motion abnormalities. However, dynamic LVOTO has, very rarely, been reported as a late-onset phenomenon in the setting of TTC as well (arising in the late stage or after recovery). Accordingly, the present paper aims to highlight clinical relevance and potential implications of late-onset LVOTO in the setting of TTC.

Tako-tsubo syndrome pertains to rare acquired cardiomyopathies, characterized by left ventricular dyskinesia and symptomatology typical for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Despite its low incidence and relatively benign course, stress cardiomyopathy should be thoroughly differentiated from AMI. The importance of tako-tsubo consists of the fact that its manifestation initially resembles AMI.

A 63-year-old woman with no previous medical problems presented with acute chest pain and an ECG consistent with an acute anterior myocardial infarction. At emergency angiography, she was found to have smooth unobstructed coronary arteries. On invasive left ventriculography, overall poor systolic function was noted with apical hypokinesis and basal hyperkinesis, consistent with Tako-tsubo phenomenon.

An elderly lady was admitted with chest pain and an electrocardiogram depicting ST segment elevation, indicative of a myocardial infarction. She was treated with intra-venous tissue plasminogen activator. On coronary angiography there was a dilated and akinetic left ventricular apex but no significant coronary artery disease.
