Figure 2.

A case of emotional-triggered mid-apical with apical-tip-sparing Takotsubo syndrome (TS) showing compression of a long segment of left anterior descending artery (LAD) with myocardial bridging during both diastole and systole. Left coronary artery (LCA) during diastole (A) reveals a long segment of LAD with myocardial bridging (arrows); note that this segment is narrower compared to the segments proximal and distal (Asterix). Left ventriculography during diastole (B) and systole (C). LCA (D) during systole shows that the segment of LAD with myocardial bridging is as narrow as that during diastole (arrows) compared to the segments of LAD proximal and distal to the affected segment (Asterix).
