Abstract
Patients with left-sided pneumothorax presenting with electrocardiogram (ECG) changes resembling acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have been reported in the literature. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) occurs predominantly in post-menopausal women with underlying intense emotional or physical stress. However, as this case report shows, it can complicate any acute illness leading to intense stress. We report a rare combination of ECG changes mimicking ACS in a man with a large right-sided pneumothorax and TCM.
