Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (also called stress or apical balooning cardiomyopathy) is the disease known in cardiology only about twenty years, and as for etiopathogenesis it is quite mysterious. It looks like acute coronary syndrome and this diagnosis is the reason for admitting to cardiocentres. It accounts for around 1% cases among patients with acute coronary syndrome and thus it is thought to be the rarely occurring disease. Recurrences of this illness were described only sporadically. We introduce the case of a woman with recurrence of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy despite the long-lasting treatment with beta blocker.
