Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Several cases of inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy--a variant form with hyperdynamic left ventricular apex and akinesia of the left ventricular base and mid-portion--have been reported recently, especially in association with cerebrovascular accidents and catecholamine cardiomyopathies. Herein, we describe 2 cases of inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: one that occurred in a middle-aged woman who had a septic condition, and another in a young woman who was in the postpartal state. Such cases have not been reported previously.
