Apical ballooning syndrome (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is an unusual stress-related reversible cardiomyopathy occurring commonly in postmenopausal females. Genetic etiology of this condition is uncertain. A 68-year-old female and her daughter aged 43 got admitted to our institute simultaneously with acute chest pain following demise of one of their close relative. Both had features typical of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and recovered completely. This reports point to the possible genetic predisposition to this abnormality.
