Sumario:A case of an anxious 59-year-old woman, who presented with chest pressure, nausea, and vomiting, is described. After hours of symptoms that worsened despite medical management, cardiac catheterization was performed. Angiography revealed diffuse, long, tubular disease of multiple coronary vessels. Additionally, left ventriculography was consistent with Takotsubo syndrome. Based on both coronary angiography and left ventriculography, it was determined that this patient had concomitant spontaneous coronary artery dissection and Takotsubo syndrome.
