Background: Dysfunction of the left ventricular (LV) apex (apical variant) is the most common form in Takotsubo syndrome (TS). Several less common non-apical variants have been described - mid-ventricular, basal and focal. We hypothesised that the clinical presentation, and electrocardiographic (ECG) findings may vary between apical and non-apical TS.

Typical takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a reversible form of myocardial injury that presents with a characteristic ballooning abnormality of the left ventricular apex. Typical TCM has been associated with myocardial bridging; however, mid-ventricular variant TCM has not. We describe a rare case of mid-ventricular variant TCM with a coexisting left anterior descending artery myocardial bridge and discuss management strategies.

Named after the Japanese octopus trap, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute myocardial condition characterized by a reversible ventricular dysfunction with ballooning of the left ventricle (LV) during systole. A catecholamine surge is likely the primary mechanism responsible for myocardial damage in this condition. The association between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy has not been well established.

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute and usually reversible heart failure syndrome characterized as an uncommon left ventricular (LV) cardiomyopathy. Recurrence of TTS is rare, estimated to be 1-6%. We report a rare case of TTS that occurred three times in 2 months but manifested various phenotypes.
