Transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome, also known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (Broken Heart Syndrome) is increasingly being reported in the medical literature. Its clinical picture resembles of an acute coronary syndrome with transient apical dyskinesia and normal coronary arteries. We report here a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with Addison disease with reversible cardiomyopathy. To the best of our knowledge there has been only one other reported case of this syndrome with Addison disease but with a different outcome.
心尖球囊样综合征又称 Takotsubo 心肌病（心碎综合征），在医学文献中的报道越来越多。其临床表现类似于急性冠状动脉综合征，伴有短暂的心尖运动障碍和正常冠状动脉。我们在此报告一例 Addison 病伴可逆性心肌病的 Takotsubo 心肌病患者。据我们所知，只有另一例 Addision 病伴 Takotsubo 综合征的报道，但结果不同。
