Abstract
We report a case of apical thrombus formation among a group of 15 patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy who were referred for a suspected acute coronary syndrome over a 2.5-year period. To the best of our knowledge, no data are available regarding the treatment of this syndrome. According to current literature and our reported experience, the use of anticoagulant therapy administered until complete resolution of wall motion abnormalities appears to be appropriate to treat apical thrombus formation and any possible subsequent embolism. © 2008 Italian Federation of Cardiology.
