Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a condition that clinically simulates an acute coronary syndrome, thus it remains indispensable for its diagnosis to exclude a significant coronary disease. We present the case of a postmenopausal woman who developed a clinical picture similar to an anterior myocardial infarction during a migraine episode, where the echocardiogram during the acute event oriented towards the correct diagnosis of a Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, incidentally finding a single coronary artery with no obstructive disease.
