Description

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by acute, left ventricular wall motion abnormalities associated with systolic dysfunction. A variant of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy has been described as, "reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy," involving ballooning and hypokinesis of the base of the left ventricle with preserved apical function or hyperkinesis of the apex. We report a case of reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a young female patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with respiratory distress likely due to asthma exacerbation.
