SQUADRONI, Liliana et al. Cardiomiopatía de Tako-tsubo y síndrome de QT largo congénito. Insuf. card. [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.4, pp.154-157. ISSN 1852-3862.

Takobsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) and congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) are two entities that present a delay of cardiac repolarization and their association has been published in case reports. We present the case of a 55-year-old female patient with medical history of congenital LQTS, who was admitted to our hospital due to precordial pain after a stressful event and TC was diagnosed. She evolves with QT interval prolongation on the ECG that remains after the externalization, without presenting any episodes of ventricular arrhythmia or syncope.

Keywords : Long QT syndrome; Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy.
