Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

this is a stress-induced cardiomyopathy.. it is a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy that causes the heart muscles to weaken due to emotional stress. in Short this is a broken heart syndrome. cute huh..the first presentation of symptoms are similar to that of a heart failure. The ECG will suggest an anterior wall attack but the angiogram will not show anything.. hmmm this is very common in post-menopause woman.. guys do take note of pple ard ya... esp mums... :)
