Abstract: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a well-known phenomenon due to physical or emotional stress, causing a catecholamine surge leading to myocardial wall motion abnormalities, most commonly apical ballooning of the left ventricle.1-3 The diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can be challenging as its presentation often mimics acute coronary syndrome. This case highlights the classic presentation of the apical ballooning variant of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and appropriate workup and diagnosis.
