Core Tip

Core Tip: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy triggered by stress. Echocardiography shows akinesia in the apical region and hyperkinesis in other regions. Clinical, electrocardiographic, and laboratory findings mimic acute coronary syndrome. The diagnosis is made by excluding acute coronary syndrome. In our case, cardiomyopathy developed after surgical treatment of liver hydatid cyst.
