Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Undiscovered Sigmoid Colon Cancer by Huang Po-Yen, Ku Po-Ming

“…Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a stress-related cardiomyopathy that is characterized by reversible left systolic dysfunction, which appears to be precipitated by sudden emotional or physical stress in the absence of myocardial infarction. Here we present a rare case that clinically presented with intermittent abdominal pain, initially impressed as non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure but with a normal coronary angiogram. …”
