Abstract

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.
Keywords: takotsubo cardiomyopathy; hyperthyroidism; left ventricular dysfunction takotsubo cardiomyopathy; hyperthyroidism; left ventricular dysfunction
