| description | Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress-induced cardiomyopathy is often diagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome in postmenopausal women, because its clinical presentation may mimic an acute myocardial infarction: anginal chest pain, changes in the ST segment and T wave in precordial leads and elevated cardiac biomarkers of necrosis. It is characterized by systolic dysfunction with transient ballooning of the apical and middle portions of the left ventricle in the absence of significant coronary disease. Prognosis is good and complete recovery occurs in days to weeks. We report three cases of postmenopausal women with initial diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction; no significant coronary lesions were found in the coronary angiography; apical ballooning, characteristic of this syndrome, was observed on left ventriculography. On follow-up, the three patients had complete recovery of systolic function at six weeks. |
