Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient systolic ballooning of apical or mid segments of the left ventricle (LV) mimicking acute myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease. Recurrences remain rare and most recurrence case reports are about apical ballooning or typical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We present a rare case of recurrence in mid ventricular ballooning or atypical variant of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This case highlights the importance of future follow-up and potential of recurrence even in atypical variants.
应激性心肌病的特征是左心室(LV)心尖或中间节段短暂性收缩期膨出,在无阻塞性心外膜冠状动脉疾病的情况下酷似急性心肌梗死。复发情况仍然罕见,大多数复发病例报告是关于心尖部膨出或典型应激性心肌病。我们报告一例应激性心肌病心室中部膨出或非典型变异型复发的罕见病例。该病例突出了未来随访的重要性以及即使在非典型变异型中也存在复发的可能性。
