Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Coexisting with Acute Pericarditis and Myocardial Bridge

Mid-ventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Coexisting Myocardial Bridge

Typical takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a reversible form of myocardial injury that presents with a characteristic ballooning abnormality of the left ventricular apex. Typical TCM has been associated with myocardial bridging; however, mid-ventricular variant TCM has not. We describe a rare case of mid-ventricular variant TCM with a coexisting left anterior descending artery myocardial bridge and discuss management strategies. Furthermore, we propose potential pathophysiological mechanisms that may contribute to the symptomatic presentation of both conditions as a manifestation of common etiological factors.
