Takotsubo syndrome is an acute heart disease usually triggered by significant emotional or physical stress, very occasionally described in association with natural disasters such as earthquakes. Clinically, it simulates an acute myocardial infarction with similar symptoms, laboratory tests, and electrocardiographic changes. Coronary angiography shows the absence of significant coronary disease. We report two women, aged 71 and 80 years, and who developed a Takotsubo syndrome after an earthquake. In both, the syndrome was diagnosed with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
应激性心肌病是一种急性心脏病，通常由重大情绪或身体应激诱发，极少情况下与地震等自然灾害相关。临床上，它模拟急性心肌梗死，具有相似症状、实验室检查和心电图改变。冠状动脉造影显示无明显冠状动脉疾病。我们报告两名分别为71岁和80岁的女性，她们在地震后患上了应激性心肌病。两人均通过心脏磁共振成像确诊该综合征。
