Abstract
Broken-heart syndrome (BHS) is an acute reversible myocardial injury of left or right ventricular myocardium in the absence of coronary occlusion. We, herein, discuss a case of a postmenopausal female presenting with angina equivalent with surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography consistent for acute coronary syndrome. The patient was subsequently diagnosed and treated as BHS.
