abstract="A 19 year old girl presented with extensive T inversions on ECG after attempted suicide by hanging. Her past medical history was normal. 2D-echo findings and troponin I were negative. These ECG changes were present over a 9 weeks duration without any clinical features and got completely cured. This is called Apical Ballooning Syndrome (ABS) which mimics acute coronary syndrome. © 2015, College of Anaesthesiologists of Sri Lanka. All rights reserved.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
