Summary:Transient apical ballooning, Tako-tsubo syndrome (and other synonyms), is a clinical condition first described in Japan, and then in other countries, that mimics acute myocardial infarction. Disorders of left ventricular contractility recover within a few weeks. The fatality rate is very low compared with infarction, but it should be known by professionals that see patients with acute co ronary syndrome in the emergency department. A patient who was discharged from our department with this diagnosis is presented, and electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and angiographic images are shown La discinesia apical transitoria, Síndrome de Takotsubo (y otras sinonimias), es una situación clínica descrita inicialmente en Japón, y luego en otras latitudes, que simula el infarto agudo de miocardio. Los trastornos de la contractilidad segmentaria del ventrículo izquierdo se recuperan en pocas semanas. La letalidad es muy baja comparada con el infarto, pero debe conocerse por los profesionales que atienden en los servicios de urgencias a pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo. Se presenta una paciente egresada de nuestro servicio con este diagnóstico, y se muestran las imágenes electrocardiográficas, ecocardiográficas y angiográficas.
