ABSTRACT
Tako-Tsubo syndrome or transient apical dyskinesia, is an entity that can mimic an acute coronary event. It is characterized by anginal chest pain with ST-T changes in precordial leads, no coronary obstruction on angiography and a characteristic left ventricular antero-apical dyskinesia that recovers to normal in a few days. This syndrome has been described in Japan, but few cases have been reported in Western countries. We report a case of Tako-Tsubo syndrome after thyroid surgery.
