Ventricular fibrillation as primary presentation of takotsubo cardiomyopathy after complicated cesarean delivery

Figure 1 Electrocardiography performed in the acute setting showing diffuse T waves inversion and QT-prolongation.

Figure 2 Baseline echocardiography recorded at the end of systole (A) and diastole (B) showing impairment of contractility of all distal-apical segments, but sparing the base and midventricular regions.

Figure 3 Echocardiography performed 3 wk later showed complete normalization of left ventricular function and resolution of contractility abnormalities, at the end of diastole (A) and at the end of systole (B).
