Abstract

The article describes the clinical case of takotsubo syndrome in female, who has also echocardiographic picture of a left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy. According to the result of magnetic resonance imaging, the diagnosis of noncompaction cardiomyopathy was not confirmed, left ventricular hypertrabeculation was revealed. There are single descriptions of the combination of takotsubo syndrome and left ventricular hypertrabeculation, the pathogenetic relationship of these conditions has not yet been established.
