A 79-year-old female patient, who was initially suspected to have pneumonia, was admitted to the respiratory department of our hospital. She experienced chest pain on the second admission day. Electrocardiography showed ST-segment elevation in leads V3 through V6, and echocardiography revealed hypokinetic left ventricular wall motion. Therefore, myocardial infarction was suspected. She was transferred to the coronary care unit. Heart catheterization was immediately performed. Coronary angiography showed no significant stenotic lesion. Left ventriculography showed regional hypokinesis of the anterior and posterior walls near the base and normokinesis in the apex. Iodine-123-beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (123-BMIPP)myocardial single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) revealed inhomogeneous decrease in uptake, especially in the lateral wall, which did not correspond to any of the coronary artery territories. The echocardiographic asynergy was dramatically resolved after 1 week and the 123I-BMIPP SPECT finding was normal at 3 months. Although the clinical course of this patient was similar to that of tako-tsubo-like left ventricular dysfunction, the shape of her left ventricle was not typical. Left ventriculography showed hypokinesis of the anterior and posterior walls near the base and normokinesis in the apex, appearing like a chestnut rather than a tako-tsubo.
