ABSTRACT
Here we present the case of 47-year-old female patient, native and resident of the city of Manizales, Caldas, Colombia, who started with a clinical picture of oppressive precordial pain, after a family argument, presenting electrocardiographic changes in the ST segment in anteroseptal face, positive cardioenzymes, echocardiography and angiography compatible with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Given the difficulty of its diagnosis and the possibility of being confused with other aetiologies (aetiologies of similar clinical pictures), we present this case report to invite the reader to think of this pathology as a possible diagnosis and highlight its clinical characteristics, identify it and treat it in time .REFERENCES
