616 Tako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy in Teenagers

Background: Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (also called transient left ventricular apical ballooning or “broken heart” syndrome) is transient myocardial pathology, which mimics acute coronary syndrome, acute myocardial infarction with the ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram without the coronary arteries damage. In Japanese, “tako-tsubo” means “fishing pot for trapping octopus,” because the left ventricle of the patient with this condition resembles it. As there are only few descriptions of current syndrome we decided to report of our study.
