This report describes the prompt resolution of an apical left ventricular (LV)-thrombus complicating transient apical ballooning in a 74-year-old woman. The patient was admitted to our emergency department with acute chest pain and ST-elevation on the electrocardiogram. Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries and LV-angiography demonstrated the presence of apical ballooning akinesis associated with basal hypercontraction. Echocardiography and MRI studies confirmed the presence of LV-apex akinesis and detected an apical thrombus. Follow-up echocardiography on day 12 before discharge of the patient, revealed a marked improvement of regional contractility of the LV-apex and surprisingly the complete resolution of the LV-apical thrombus. The patient was diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
