Takatsubo cardiomyopathy is new emerging disease characterised by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction followed by complete recovery of the same gradually over the course of few months. It represents 1-2% of all patients who present with acute ST elevation based on ECG finding and has a mortality of 1% and a recurrence of about 10%. The acute presentation greatly mimics acute coronary syndrome and needs differentiation from the same to avoid inadvertent thrombolysis and its consequences. We describe seven such patients at our institute over a period of 18 months.

Introduction: Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) has a higher incidence in Caucasians (CAUCs) compared to African-Americans (AAs). Whether this is due to racial predisposition, selection bias, or environmental factors remains unclear.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that people from lower socioeconomic strata (SES) have a lower incidence of SIC.

Takotsubo syndrome is an acute heart failure syndrome with a pathogenesis that is attributed to sympathetic stimulation. This case report describes a unique case of a 5 month heart-transplanted female patient who developed apical ballooning on an echocardiography exam performed following an emotional stress event. Detailed clinical investigations and imaging techniques confirmed the diagnosis of Takatsubo syndrome.

Takatsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a relative novel condition that has been increasingly reported. Studies have shown the incidence on TC to be 1-2 % of all patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome which amounts a large subset of patients. Various arrhythmias have been reported with TC, varying from benign QTc prolongation to serious life threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
