title: [Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy in the course of carbon monoxide poisoning].
abstract: Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a clinical syndrome induced by a strong mental or physical stress, characterized by a transient hypokinesia, akinesia or dyskinesia middle segments of the left ventricle and apical, with associated electrocardiographic changes of ST-T segment like in acute coronary syndrome, with no significant changes in coronary arteries in coronary angiography. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is mainly found in women in the sixth and seventh decade of life and represents 1-2% of cases originally diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome. We present a case of tako-tsubo syndrome in the course of carbon monoxide poisoning in a 56-year-old patient, with a positive history of ischemic heart disease and hypertension. Moreover, the reasons for its occurrence were considered based on clinical course, laboratory tests and imaging, and available literature.
