Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy and mimics acute coronary syndrome in the setting of non-obstructive coronary artery disease. It is associated with reversible left ventricular apical, mid, and/or basal wall motion abnormalities. A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a connection between one or more of the coronary arteries and the cardiac chamber or great vessel. We present a case of an elderly woman who presented with chest pain and was found to have non-obstructive coronary artery disease with wall motion abnormality pattern consistent with TTC and multiple CAF involving the left circumflex coronary artery and pulmonary artery. This case highlights a rare association between two uncommon entities.
应激性心肌病(TTC)也被称为应激性心肌病,在非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病的情况下可模拟急性冠状动脉综合征。它与可逆性左心室心尖、中间和/或基底壁运动异常有关。冠状动脉瘘(CAF)是一条或多条冠状动脉与心腔或大血管之间的连接。我们报告一例老年女性患者,她因胸痛就诊,被发现患有非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病,其壁运动异常模式与TTC一致,且存在多条累及左旋支冠状动脉和肺动脉的CAF。该病例突出了两种罕见疾病之间的罕见关联。
