Abstract

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute cardiac disease that mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Some patients admitted with suspected ACS in whom coronary angiography has ruled out coronary artery disease have unproven acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The differential diagnosis must be essential to ensure correct treatments. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging emerges as a first-line diagnostic tool that allows clear discrimination between AMI and Tako-Tsubo.
