Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a rare cause of myocardial infarction in heart transplant patients. The heterogeneity of reported cases makes it impossible to identify specific characteristics of patients at risk. The occurrence of biventricular TTS is even less frequent its impact on long-term prognosis is unpredictable. We in here describe a rare case of biventricular TTS occurred in a woman 13 years after heart transplant.
