title: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with concurrent multivessel obstructive coronary artery disease: proposition for a new clinical entity and first case surgical experience.
abstract: We present a seldom seen case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) with concurrent obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) and its first case surgical experience. We propose that TCM and OCAD can coexist and that the presence of OCAD should not be an exclusion criterion for the diagnosis of TCM.
