Abstract:
We present a 21-year-old female whose clinical presentation and investigations were suggestive of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. On cardiac MRI, there was delayed gadolinium enhancement in apical and mid-segments with sparing of the base. Patient is in class III symptoms with ejection fraction of 24% at 1 year follow-up. This variant form of takotsubo cardiomyopathy with delayed contrast enhancement is associated with irreversible left ventricular dysfunction and poor outcome.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
