[Morpho-functional imaging of a rare case of tako-tsubo syndrome in a young pregnant woman]

Abstract

We report the case of a pregnant patient who developed the typical pattern of tako-tsubo syndrome after delivery (i.e., electrocardiographic changes, elevated cardiac enzymes, and no evidence of coronary stenosis). SPECT imaging showed myocardial perfusion defects and altered motility, which reversed 6 months later.
