<unk>  cardiomyopathy can be divided into several types, depending on the location of regional wall motion abnormality. The area of motion abnormality (whether hypokinesia, dyskinesia or akinesia) can be detected on echocardiography or left ventriculography. The most common type is the apical type, resulting in apical ballooning. In a minority of patients reverse takotsubo have been described in which unlike apical ballooning the basal and mid ventricular segments of the left ventricle become akinetic.
