Our case report characterizes a rare presentation of mid-ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) in a patient with suspected myocarditis as an underlying cause. Mid-ventricular TTC is a rare variant of TTC presenting with overlapping symptoms and physical exam findings of acute coronary syndrome, which often leads to misdiagnosis as myocardial infarction. Our case is of a 77-year-old female patient with a history of hyperlipidemia, right breast ductal carcinoma in situ, and diverticular disease who presented to the emergency department for evaluation of chest pain radiating to the jaw with associated nausea and vomiting.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy accounts for one percent of acute coronary syndrome presentations and has been increasingly recognized [1]. Reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a variant form of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy presenting with the hyperdynamic function of the apical segments and hypokinesis of the basal or mid-ventricular segments is the rarest type of acute stress cardiomyopathy, with mid-ventricular akinesia and preservation of apical and basal contractility [2].
Case Report: We report a rare case of an elderly woman admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Case Western Reserve University Hospital in Cleveland, USA.
