Abstract
SALAZAR MARIN, Santiago; HANNA, Franklin; RAMIREZ, Néstor and MARCELA VALENCIA, Johanna. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and single coronary artery: a unique combination. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.4, pp.303.e1-303.e6. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2015.10.001.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a condition that clinically simulates an acute coronary syndrome, thus it remains indispensable for its diagnosis to exclude a significant coronary disease. We present the case of a postmenopausal woman who developed a clinical picture similar to an anterior myocardial infarction during a migraine episode, where the echocardiogram during the acute event oriented towards the correct diagnosis of a Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, incidentally finding a single coronary artery with no obstructive disease.
