Abstract
Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a reversible cardiomyopathy mimicking acute myocardial infarction characterized by a transient left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning without epicardial coronary artery disease [ [1] Kurisu S. Sato H. Kawagoe T. et al. Tako-tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction with ST-segment elevation: a novel cardiac syndrome mimicking acute myocardial infarction. Am Heart J. 2002; 143: 448-455 Google Scholar ]. Most remarkable is the complete reversibility of this cardiomyopathy resolving spontaneously within several weeks [ [1] Kurisu S. Sato H. Kawagoe T. et al. Tako-tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction with ST-segment elevation: a novel cardiac syndrome mimicking acute myocardial infarction. Am Heart J. 2002; 143: 448-455 Google Scholar ]. Conduction pathway disorders were rarely associated with TTC. We described two cases of TTC with conduction disorders persisting after improvement of left ventricular wall motion that finally motivated the implantation of pacemakers.
