SALAVERRIA GARZON, I.; VILLASENOR NAVAS, M.; SANCHEZ HERRERA, S. e MARTINEZ ELBAL, L.. Tako-Tsubo syndrome (transient apical dyskinesia): An entity that can mimic a myocardial infarction. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2008, vol.25, n.1, pp.20-22. ISSN 0212-7199.
Tako-Tsubo syndrome or transient apical dyskinesia, is an entity that can mimic an acute coronary event. It is characterized by anginal chest pain with ST-T changes in precordial leads, no coronary obstruction on angiography and a characteristic left ventricular antero-apical dyskinesia that recovers to normal in a few days. This syndrome has been described in Japan, but few cases have been reported in Western countries. We report a case of Tako-Tsubo syndrome after thyroid surgery.
