Abstrakt: Both Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) of the distal portion of the left anterior descending artery affect the apical myocardium. It is important to distinguish between both diseases, because therapy and follow-up differ. Revascularization may be lifesaving in SCAD, whereas heart failure management is vital in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. ( Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. ).
