[Spontaneous coronary dissection complicated by Takotsubo syndrome or Takotsubo syndrome complicated by spontaneous coronary dissection: the complex integration of invasive and non-invasive imaging].
Giornale Italiano di Cardiologia 2023 July
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection syndrome and Takotsubo syndrome are similar entities. They have peculiar features in common, such as a predilection for female sex, signs and symptoms compatible with acute coronary syndrome, high probability of restitutio ad integrum. The interdependence between these two diseases is of intriguing diagnostic and therapeutic implication.A 51-year-old woman presented to our attention with chest pain and evidence of ST-segment elevation. Coronary angiography showed the presence of type 2 dissection involving the diagonal branch. A conservative strategy was preferred. A severe emotional stress conditioned the following hours of hospitalization. A Takotsubo-like pattern was detected at focused echocardiogram. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the typical left ventricular motion abnormalities of a stress cardiomyopathy and T2-weighted sequences showed increased late gadolinium enhancement in the diagonal branch area, leading to the diagnosis of a concomitant coronary dissection and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
