The three faces of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a single patient.

While the classical apical ballooning takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) was first reported in the 1990s, the rarer mid-ventricular and basal variants were not formally recognized until recently and they remain poorly understood. In this case report, we describe a 67-year-old woman who, during her hospitalization for a subarachnoid hemorrhage and subsequent readmission, experienced multiple complications, each of which resulted in a different variant of TC. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a single patient developing all three variants of TC.
