Abstract 

We present the case of a 71-year-old woman with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy as imaged with a dual source multidetector CT, MRI, and follow-up echocardiography. This demonstrates normal coronary arteries by use of CT angiography, and a 3D perspective of abnormal mid left ventricular hypokinesis and apical left ventricular akinesis.

Keywords: Coronary angiography, Dual-source CT, 64-Slice multidetector CT, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
