Abstract
We report a rare case of Holter monitoring documenting the onset of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy in a 70-year-old woman. The patient experienced sudden chest discomfort after a quarrel in her hospital stay. Follow-up echocardiography on day 22 revealed a marked improvement of left ventricular apical akinesis. Angiographic examination at discharge showed neither coronary artery disease nor left ventricular asynergy.
