Tako-tsubo syndrome is a new diagnostic entity, still little known. Also called transient left ventricular apical ballooning, stress cardiomyopathy, and neurogenic myocardial stunning, it mimics myocardial infarction, combining chest pain with electrocardiographic changes and a moderate rise in the serum markers of necrosis. Angiography of the coronary artery is normal while that of the left ventricle shows ballooning and basal hyperkinesis. This disorder appears to concern 1 to 2% of patients admitted for suspected myocardial infarction. The aim of our study was to describe the characteristics of this syndrome on the basis of our clinical experience and to analyze the current physiopathological explanations.
