Abstract:
We report here the case of an 80 year old female suffering from Tako-tsubo syndrome diagnosed following type B aortic dissection, treated surgically with an aortic endoprosthesis. The recovery was marked by the secondary development of left intraventricular obstruction. Regression of the electrical and ultrasound anomalies was slow, taking 4 months of treatment with a beta-blocker. The intraventricular obstruction seemed to occupy a central role in this case, and we discuss the significance of this mechanical phenomenon in the pathophysiology of this syndrome.
