摘　　要：BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy,also called apical ballooning syndrome,is a disease that is often triggered by stress factors in postmenopausal women and mimics acute coronary syndrome.The aim of this article is to draw attention to takotsubo cardiomyopathy after surgical treatment of liver hydatid cyst.CASE SUMMARY A 50-year-old diabetic and hypertensive female patient was evaluated preoperatively before general surgery for liver hydatid cyst,and no cardiac problems were found.The patient was discharged on the 3rd postoperative day without any postoperative complications.On postoperative day 5,the patient presented to the emergency department with fever,shortness of breath,chills,and shivering and was hospitalized with the diagnosis of pneumonia.The troponin levels remained high during follow-up.Echocardiography was performed on postoperative day 7,after which the patient was referred to a tertiary center with the diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction due to akinesia in the apical region.Coronary angiography performed at the tertiary center showed normal coronary anatomy,and the patient was diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.CONCLUSION Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimicking myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation may develop after surgical treatment of liver hydatid cyst.
