Sumario:Midventricular ballooning syndrome, an atypical presentation of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), presents with transient wall motion abnormalities of the midsegment of the left ventricle with apical sparing. In midventricular TCM, apical contractility is unaffected or may be hyperkinetic in contrast to the typical form of TCM. We report a case of atypical TCM, wherein the patient presented with chest pain following choking and coughing spells due to a postnasal drip.
