Özet

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is a unique reversible cardiomyopathy which is frequently precipitated by a stressful event and has a clinical presentation that is indistinguishable from a myocardial infarction. Clinical presentation of most patients including ECG and symptoms are equal to acute coronary syndromes. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may provide insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy by assessment of myocardial viability. In this paper, we report a 49-year-old woman presenting with acute anterior myocardial infarction in whom apical ballooning was found and differential diagnosis was achieved by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. © Gülhane Askeri Ti{dotless}p Akademisi 2011.
