case_images: ECG revealed sinus rhythm, ST-segment elevation in inferior extremity lead (lead II, III, aVF) and anterior precordial lead (lead v2-v6), and ST-segment depression at lead I, aVL.

case_images: ST-segment elevation (Figure 1). She was hypoglycemic (plasma glucose 62 mg/dL), with elevated levels of cardiac troponin-I (5.36 ng/dL; normal value 3.42 ng/dL) and NT-proBNP (9288 pg/mL; normal value 125 pg/mL).
case_images: (a) On the first day, the echocardiography demonstrated LV apical ballooning on four chamber view. (b) Two-dimensional speckle tracking bull's eye patterns of LV Global longitudinal strain (GLS) illustrate apical hypokinesia at diagnosis. (c) On the second day, the echocardiography results indicated a noteworthy improvement in left ventricular motion. (d) The bull's eye patterns of LV GLS, tracked through two-dimensions of speckles tacking, demonstrate a noteworthy improvement within a span of 2 days.

case_images: Simpson; Figure 2(a)). Strain imaging using speckle tracking echocardiography displayed a hypokinetic LV apex (Figure 2(b)). Simpson BIPLANE) on day 2 of admission (Figure 2(c) and (d)). She was discharged on the fifth day with physical activity restrictions.
