Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>An 82‐year‐old female presented lasting chest pain for stimulation and the ECG revealed ventricular fibrillation and ST segment elevation, so we considered acute myocardial infarction. However, after the clinical condition of the patient improved, symptoms recurred for stimulation again on day 4. An echocardiogram showed left ventricular apical ballooning, so, we diagnosed her as Takotsubo syndrome.</p> </abstract>
