Résumé
Although takotsubo syndrome is defined as a reversible heart failure syndrome with the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, some cases of concomitant takotsubo syndrome and acute myocardial infarction have been reported. We herein describe the case of a patient with chronic nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who was not receiving anticoagulant therapy, who developed takotsubo syndrome triggered by acute myocardial infarction probably due to coronary artery thromboembolism. <
