Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a life-threatening systemic disorder that may occur early after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but precise hemodynamics and fluid management remain unclear. Although TCM is often regarded as a reversible or self-limited phenomenon, it contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality of SAH patients, especially when it is complicated with other BACKGROUND While takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare cardiomyopathy, recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTC) is even more so, occurring in only 4% of patients with TC. Treatment is based on expert opinion and includes standard heart failure treatment using beta blockers (BB) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI). This article provides a comprehensive review of the clinical features of takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy. The author discusses key features that distinguish this cardiomyopathy from acute coronary syndrome. This review includes detail of characteristic findings on electrocardiogram, biochemical testing, and cardiac imaging, as well as complications including congestive heart failure
Still, true heart attacks are more common than takotsubo cardiomyopathy: only about 2% of people presenting at hospitals for symptoms of a heart attack actually have takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Chronic stress can cause heart trouble, too. Initially, takotsubo cardiomyopathy was identified in patients who experienced sudden, extreme stress.
