Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction and electrocardiographic changes that might mimic acute myocardial infarction in the absence of significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Typical takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is associated with a ballooned left ventricular (LV) apex with basal segmental hyperkinesis. The adrenergic discharge during or after anaesthesia may gives rise to transient ventricular dysfunction. We report a case of atypical takotsubo cardiomyopathy, presented as LV global hypokinesia following general anaesthesia. This rare and atypical variant of stress induced cardiomyopathy is rarely reported in english literature.
