Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is characterized with a reversible disorder of left ventricular contractility. At present time, it is established that various factors, both psycho-emotional and clinical, can trigger this disease. Notably, according to current opinions, coronary atherosclerosis may accompany TS and not be its exclusion criteria as it was previously thought. This article presents a clinical case of TS relapse in a female patient aged 83 years at 5 years following the first episode associated with progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
