Síndrome de takotsubo atípico o invertido

Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome is a poorly registered heart disease that was initially approached as a benign condition. Its typical clinical presentation with apical abalonation is the most recognized, however, its atypical phenotype with alteration for focal motility of the myocardial walls with a medium ventricular variant and little apical compromise has been demonstrated in up to 40% of patients with cardiomyopathy of takotsubo. Given that, it has recently been shown that takotsubo syndrome can be associated with severe complications, including death, and that the long-term prognosis is similar to that of patients with coronary syndromes, it is imperative to recognize its atypical forms in order to improve its diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
