Figure 2.

(a) parasternal long axis, (b) subcostal short axis (mitral level) and (c) subcostal long axis. Transthoracic echo on admission. The green line is the inner border of the LV during systole and red line is the inner border during diastole. It can be seen from the figures that there is akinesis of the mid- and apical sections of the LV, and akinesis of most of the basal sections except the inferior sections. This is not classical of Takotsubo, and hence described as SIC.
