Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy in a radical operation for carcinoma of colon patient with PCI history

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy(TTC) is an acute、 reversibile disease，which is always undiagnosised or misdiagnosised. TTC is characterized by a local and transient left ventricular wall motion abnormality. We introduce the case of 81-year old female patient with colorectal cancer, who suffered TTC after the radical operation. She also had coronary artery disease(CAD) and had a percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) history. Surgery is often regarded as an independent risk factor of TTC. Little is known about the association of TTC between CAD, and it is also a challenge to distinguish them.
