“…Inverted Takotsubo also presents with a lower prevalence of T-wave inversion than those with classic patterns. Transient global LV dysfunction associated with attempted suicidal hanging or accidental strangulation has been reported previously 8, 9, 10. Another case of apical hypokinesia after accidental strangulation has been reported in an 8-year-old boy.…”

We report two cases of "Inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy" following attempted suicidal hanging. Both the patients presented with heart failure and had desaturation 8-12h after the suicidal attempt. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed ischemic changes. On echocardiography, the left ventricle (LV) showed ballooning and hypokinesia of the basal segments with apical sparing. Both patients underwent coronary angiograms considering the possibility of acute coronary syndrome. However, their coronary angiograms were normal. After 3-4 days of hospitalization, both recovered; their ECG had reversed and the LV contractility was normal on echocardiography.
