Abstract

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an infrequent, mostly stress-related transient cardio myopathy, which mainly affects postmenopausal women. Inverted or basal TTC (B-TTC) episodes are rarer. Our case illustrates a rare example of B-TTC in a 30-year-old woman with an acute multiple sclerosis relapse as the associated stressor, possibly providing a hypothetical pathological substrate for this TTC episode. This uncommon case suggests that both factors of young age or neurological events may affect TTC pattern during one episode. Moreover, this case raises the question as to whether researchers on T TC should adopt a new perspective, embracing cardiovascular as well as neuroanatomical and -functional features.
