    Abstract
    A 69‐year‐old woman presented to the emergency department with central dull chest pain. Electrocardiography revealed Q waves and ST elevation in the inferior leads and cardiac troponin I was elevated at 1506 ng/L (normal range <10). She was taken for emergent coronary angiography, which demonstrated chronic occlusion of her right coronary artery, left ventricular ejection fraction of 34% and basal hyperkinesis with mid‐ventricular and apical dyskinesis consistent with takotsubo syndrome (Fig. 1).A 69‐year‐old woman presented to the emergency department with central dull chest pain.
