Since the 1990s, a new entity cardiomyopathy is described: the Tako-Tsubo syndrome. The Mayo Clinics' criteria have been defined by to help diagnose: LV dysfunction, electrical modifications, and complete recovery. It is a Caucasian woman aged 66 hospitalized for chest pain syndrome occurred during the funeral. In support, we note the presence of STEMI. The patient received the conventional treatment of acute coronary syndrome. Cardiac ultrasound, angiography is in favor of Tako-Tsubo syndrome. MRI shows an unusual location: a delayed enhancement in epicardial associated pericardial effusion mimicking myopericarditis.
