Tako Tsubo cardiomyopathy has been described in a variety of stress situations, including several critical illness settings. We report the first case of this syndrome in a patient with multiple trauma. ⋯ Prolonged ST segment elevation on EKG, minor troponin release, and transient left ventricular apical ballooning on transthoracic echocardiography are among the features to be recognized. Full recovery occurs spontaneously within several weeks.
