    BACKGROUND: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a well-known complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and has been rarely described in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

    METHODS: Case report and review of literature.

    RESULTS: Here, we report a 73-year-old woman with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) presenting in cardiogenic shock. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) was diagnosed by repeated echocardiography. Cardiovascular support by inotropic agents led to hemodynamic stabilization after initiation of levosimendan. Cardiac function fully recovered within 21 days. We performed an in-depth literature review and identified 16 reported patients with TBI and TC. Clinical course and characteristics are discussed in the context of our patient.

    CONCLUSION: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is under-recognized after TBI and may negatively impact outcome if left untreated.

    Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare, acute, nonischemic cardiomyopathy causing transient left ventricular dysfunction, which can mimic myocardial infarction on its presentation. While many cardiac manifestations have been associated with hyperthyroidism, we report a rare case where it has precipitated takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

  3. Fulltext Tako Tsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with antiphosholipid syndrome secondary to systemic lupus erythemathosus (SLE)

    PMID: 18942303 MyJurnal
    Tako Tsubo cardiomyopathy is rare, stress related and indistinguishable from acute myocardial infarction clinically. Proper diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary thrombolysis and life long management of coronary artery disease.
