Abstract :

We present a case of 55 yrs old female with no comorbidities presenting with acute severe chest pain. ECG and cardiac enzymes were suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. However coronary angiography was totally normal. A diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was made. Stress in the form of family dispute was identified as the trigger event. Three weeks after discharge she showed excellent recovery with a normal echo.
