Abstract :
Takotsubo syndrome is an acute cardiomyopathy
with a clinical presentation similar to acute coronary
syndrome, characterized by reversible alterations in
ventricular function, leading to complications of acute heart
failure in the absence of underlying coronary artery disease.
Its triggering pathophysiology is unknown and there is no
consensus regarding its treatment. A clinical case of unusual
characteristics is presented, which debuted in
cardiorespiratory arrest secondary to polymorphic
ventricular tachycardia, with rapid return to spontaneous
circulation, and good response to medical management.
