Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, often triggered by emotional or physical stress. It usually presents with clinical features similar to acute coronary syndrome, making its occurrence following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) challenging to diagnose and treat.
Case Summary: A 67-year-old man with ischaemic heart disease and recurrent angina underwent elective PCI of the right coronary artery.

We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with a medical history significant for hyperlipidemia, on pravastatin, who developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following a diagnosis of osteoporosis. She presented to the Emergency Department with acute transient left arm pain that resolved spontaneously. Investigations revealed elevated troponin levels, non-specific electrocardiographic changes, no significant coronary artery disease on angiography, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, findings consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

To prevent future ischemic strokes, especially in younger individuals, it is crucial to detect and treat direct and indirect cardioembolic sources.

Unlabelled: Introduction y objectives: Tako-tsubo syndrome (TTS) is a cardiac condition that mimics acute coronary syndrome, characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of culprit coronary artery stenosis. Although its etiology remains unknown, reversible microvascular dysfunction secondary to an adrenergic surge is thought to play a role. Treatment is empirical, although most patients receive beta-blockers (BB) in clinical practice.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or "broken heart syndrome," is a transient cardiac condition that often mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS) but lacks obstructive coronary artery disease. TCM primarily affects postmenopausal women and is often precipitated by physical or emotional stress. This report presents a case of TCM in a 65-year-old woman, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges and clinical management required to distinguish TCM from ACS.
