Abstract
A 50-year-old female with a final diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) was reported. Episodes of seizures, which were companied with a transient tombstoning ST elevation, were recorded during treatment. This report on TCM with tombstoning ST elevation implies to clinicians that the ECG changes of TCM are of great variability.
Highlights
The purpose of this case report is to highlight the ECG variablity of Takotsubo Myocardiopothy (TCM) [1]
We recorded a serial of transient ECG changes in CCU: Obvious ST segment elevation was observed in both limb leads and precordial leads, which was captured before and shortly after every episode
According to Myo Clinic Criteria [3], a diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can be made for the present case
Summary
The purpose of this case report is to highlight the ECG variablity of Takotsubo Myocardiopothy (TCM) [1]. The patient was transferred out of CCU on July 12, and she was discharged on July 17 with multiple inverted T waves on the ECG (Figure 2D). The ECG in emergency room showed inverted T waves in precordial leads (Figure 1A).
