Acute coronary syndrom as a rare trigger of Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy

Lucia Sabolová
Kardiocentrum Nemocnice Karlovy Vary

Stress cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction are generally regarded as mutually exclusive diagnoses. We report cases oftwo women with acute chest pain. Their echocardiogram and ventriculography were typical of stress cardiomyopathy, but alsothey had one acute occlusive or subocclusive coronary lesion and a highly significant rise in troponin (non typical for Tako-tsubocardiomyopathy). This is a rare case of concomitant myocardial infarction and stress cardiomyopathy, in which the acute coronarysyndrome itself may have been the stressor, given the absence of other identifiable causes.

Keywords: Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, acute coronary syndrom, ventriculography
