Sumario:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress-induced cardiomyopathy is a particular entity with a transient left ventricular dysfunction without significant coronary artery obstruction, preceded by a stressful circumstance. Clinical presentation may mimic myocardial infarction, acute heart failure among the most common conditions. If suspected, the integration of clinical aspects, imaging results, and laboratory tests allows its diagnosis and proper management. Once described as a post-menopausal women's disease, is now recognized as a more frequent condition of young women, especially after stressful conditions such as post-surgical status and peripartum period, rendering as a disease with a certain predisposition to female patients, with a not always benign evolution. This case remarks an atypical presentation experiencing a first nigh fatal evolution but a later satisfactory recuperation.
