Takotsubo cardiomyopathy--a new variant and widening disease spectrum.

Publication/Presentation Date

8-21-2007

Abstract

Classic takotsubo cardiomyopathy had left ventricular apical ballooning. Variants with mid-ventricular ballooning without involvement of the apex have been described. We describe a new variant of takotsubo cardiomyopathy where apical contraction was preserved while the rest of the ventricle was dyskinetic.
