متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy Coexisting with Acute Pericarditis and Myocardial Bridge
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a stress-induced cardiomyopathy that occurs primarily in postmenopausal women. It mimics clinical picture of acute coronary syndrome with nonobstructive coronary arteries and a characteristic transient left (or bi-) ventricular apical ballooning at angiography.
