Key result
A 78-year-old female experienced recurrent tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by a sigmoid septum, which resolved after three weeks.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case highlights that patients with a sigmoid septum may reproducibly develop significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during recurrent episodes of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy.
Sigmoid septum may predispose to recurrent LVOTO in tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy; single case leaves open screening or management implications.
