Posterolateral Hypokinesia–Slight Circumflex Artery Stenosis or Mid-Ventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy?
نویسنده
چکیده
In a 62-year old male patient with seldon atypical chest pain at rest, independant or physical stress. ECG was completely normal without any sign of ischemia. Echocardiography revealed normal dimension of the left ventricle (EDD 4.6cm) with an ejection fraction of 56%, valves without signs of sclerosis or regurtation. No impairment of the anterior and inferior left ventricular wall, but signs of posterolateral hypokinesia.
