(Reverse Takotsubo syndrome, a rare form of "Broken Heart" syndrome)

The reverse Takotsubo syndrome is one of the less frequent variants of acute syndrome, characterized by reversible basal akinesis of the left ventricle and the hypercontraction of its apical part. The following case report deals with a patient with a history of anxiety disorder that has been accepted for ongoing chest pain and signs of left ventricular heart failure. The examinations performed did not show any other etiology of difficulty than the reverse Takotsubo syndrome. After managing an acute condition, the patient had a rapid withdrawal of difficulties and a relatively rapid repair of the myocardial disorder.
