The recurrence after ten years - "mother in-law variant" of tako-tsubo syndrome

Kardiol Pol. 2010 May;68(5):557-61.

Abstract

The recurrence of left ventricular apical ballooning (LVAB) or tako-tsubo syndrome seems to be rare. Little data exists regarding the recurrence of the disease, especially over the long-term follow-up. We present a case of relapse of LVAB after ten years.
