Cardiotoxicity is a well known adverse effect of chemotherapy. Multiple cardiac injuries have been reported including cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, myocarditis, angina, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction. A left ventricular aneurysm due to chemotherapy is a rare and a dangerous complication which is particularly challenging in diagnosis requiring a high index of suspicion and periodic imaging. We present a case of a young Caucasian male with a past medical history of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia status after chemotherapy during his childhood diagnosed with left ventricular aneurysm several years later.

Objective: We present the case of possible reverse type of TCM in a female patient presented with progressive left ventricular dysfunction and its rupture in pericardium. Methods: The detailed history, physical examination, laboratory tests, electrocardiography, serial echocardiography, coronary angiography with left ventriculography were performed to diagnose possible Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in 63-year old woman admitted to our center with complaints of dyspnea, lightheadedness, weakness and signs of hypotension and history of inferior myocardial infarction, acute left ventricular aneurysm, and effusive pericarditis and pleuritis, developed after emotional stress 5 months ago. Results: Clinical evaluation revealed unremarkable laboratory tests, normal troponin values, signs of old inferior myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram, and left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction, akinesia of LV infero-lateral wall with thinning and its rupture and blood shunting in pericardium. Her coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was excluded. The patient underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass with removal of LV pseudoaneurysm. The patient was discharged from hospital with improvement in NYHA class and LV function. Conclusion: Thus, in female postmenopausal patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction signs complicated by pericarditis, intact coronary arteries and LV dysfunction with emotional stress as triggering factor, reverse type of TCM should be considered and proper management applied to prevent development of life-threatening complications like LV rupture.
