The authors present a case of a female with tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy with the left and right ventricular involvement. Regional wall motion abnormalities of the right ventricle occur in approximately 25-30% of patients with tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy and have a similar character and localization as in the left ventricle. The right ventricular involvement is frequently associated with a greater reduction in the left ventricular systolic function and seems to be a possible marker of worse course of the disease during the acute phase due to higher frequency of complications and need for a longer duration of hospitalization.
