Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Cardiac catheterization showing mild disease of the junction of the proximal and mid left anterior descending artery (a). Evidence of apical and distal anterolateral and distal inferolateral akinesis consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (b).
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Cardiac catheterization showing normal coronary arteries (a). Evidence of mid-to-distal anterior apical and inferoapical hypokinesis consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (b).
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Cardiac catheterization showing normal coronary arteries (a). Evidence of improved left ventricular function with only mild apical hypokinesis, consistent with resolving Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (b).
