Abstract

Stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by acute and transient systolic dysfunction, frequently related to a physical or emotional stressful event. Its clinical presentation is variable, and its prognosis depends on the severity of systolic dysfunction and associated comorbidities. We present the case of a 63-year-old patient with a laryngeal tumor who, after undergoing excision surgery, developed acute heart failure and an electrocardiogram compatible with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. However, the elevation of troponins was discrete, that of NT-ProBNP was marked, and the coronary angiography was normal.
