Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a nonischemic cardiomyopathy characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction that is seen predominantly in postmenopausal women (>80%). The syndrome has symptoms that are similar to acute myocardial infarction, such as electrocardiogram changes (ST-segment elevation and subsequent giant T wave inversion) and abnormal cardiac enzymes. The clinical prognosis is usually benign. This article reports the first case of a TTC in a premenopausal Saudi woman. Early diagnosis of TTC excludes the use of stents, thrombolytics, and long-term coronary heart disease medications.
应激性心肌病（TTC）是一种非缺血性心肌病，其特征为可逆性左心室功能障碍，主要见于绝经后女性（>80%）。该综合征具有与急性心肌梗死相似的症状，如心电图改变（ST段抬高及随后的巨大T波倒置）和心肌酶异常。临床预后通常良好。本文报告了沙特一名绝经前女性首例应激性心肌病病例。应激性心肌病的早期诊断可避免使用支架、溶栓药物及长期冠心病药物。
