Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a mimic of AMI that nurses may occasionally encounter in the emergency department, cardiac catheterization laboratory, or critical care unit. The patient presents with chest pain and ST segment changes that mimic those of AMI, frequently in response to a stressful event or illness. Unlike AMI, however, it is a transient and reversible disorder with a good prognosis.
