An Unusual Presentation of Takotsubo Syndrome in a Young Female of Middle Eastern Origin
Deepak Lal, Safaa AlMohdar, Mohammed Elsayed Tawfik Elsayed, Humariya Heena
TL;DR
A young woman from the Middle East presented with a rare heart condition called Takotsubo syndrome, showing it can affect people of different ages and backgrounds.
Contribution
The case highlights the variability of Takotsubo syndrome presentation and suggests the need for genetic research.
Findings
Takotsubo syndrome can present in young females without typical stress triggers.
ECG patterns can vary, and non-invasive coronary evaluation is recommended in STEMI-like cases.
Echocardiographic GLS strain may aid in predicting prognosis and recovery.
Abstract
This case of Takotsubo syndrome in a young, non‐stressed female highlight that it can present across various ages and ECG patterns, suggesting a need for further genetic research. In ECGs showing ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non‐invasive coronary evaluation should be prioritized over direct angiography. Echocardiographic GLS strain can help predict prognosis and facilitate early recovery.
