MIMIc STEMI; Typical ECG of Takotsubo‐cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Our patient was a 76‐year‐old woman with a history of hypertension and a major depressive disorder who presented to the hospital with a sudden onset of dizziness followed by chest discomfort. ECG findings revealed that there was no ST‐segment elevation in V1 and ST‐segment elevation in V2‐V6. Echocardiography revealed left ventricular wall motion abnormalities. ST‐segment elevation in anterior leads except V1 lead which caused us to suspect Takotsubo‐cardiomyopathy. We confirmed the diagnosis after performing coronary angiography and left ventriculography. Clinicians should suspect Takotsubo‐cardiomyopathy from this typical ECG finding.
