Takotsubo syndrome - different presentations for a single disease: A case report and review of literature

Figure 1 Ventriculography of the 3 cases. A and B are the ventriculography of case 1. A: LV at end diastole; B: LV at end systole with motion defect (white arrows show inferior and anterior basal hypokinesis; black arrows show hypercontractility of apical segments); LVEF: 20%. C and D are the ventriculography of case 2. C: LV at end diastole; D: LV at end systole with motion defect (white arrows show inferior and anterior midventricular hypokinesis; black arrows show hypercontractility of inferior and anterior basal and apical segments); LVEF: 60%. E and F are the ventriculography of case 3; E: LV at end diastole; F: LV at end systole with apical ballooning (white arrows show apical inferior and anterior hypokinesis; black arrows show inferior and anterior basal segments hypercontractility); LVEF: 45%, with severe mitral regurgitation. LV: Left ventricle; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction.
