Abstract EN
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is usually described following acute emotional stress.
We report here the case of a 48-year-old woman admitted for acute coronary syndrome after an intensive squash match.
Diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy due to acute physical stress was suspected in presence of normal coronary arteries and transitory left ventricular dysfunction with typical apical ballooning.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed regional wall-motion abnormalities and was helpful in excluding myocardial infarction diagnosis.
During squash the body is subject to sudden and vigorous demands inducing a prolonged and severe workload on the myocardium.
