Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (also known as stress cardiomyopathy or apical balloon syndrome) is an acquired myocardial disease characterized by symptoms similar to acute coronary syndrome. Pathophysiological mechanism of this disorder is still not well understood. Generally accepted mechanism is probably catecholamine-induced myocardial stunning provoked by stress, excessive physical exertion or rarely endocrine active tumors. We present a case report of a patient who was admitted to our clinic for suspected acute coronary syndrome. Subsequent examinations showed that it was a stress cardiomyopathy caused by extraadrenally localized tumor - paraganglioma. By tumor extirpation all clinical symptoms and laboratory results were corrected without need of antihypertensive and antidiabetic therapy.
