    The Tako-Tsubo syndrome is a reversible form of an acute stress-related cardiomyopathythat was recently described. It typically presents with a constellation of symptoms, electrocardiographicchanges, elevated cardiac enzyme levels and echocardiography imaging consistentwith an acute coronary syndrome. However, when the patient undergoes cardiac angiography,left ventricular apical ballooning finding is seen, but no significant coronary arterystenosis.
