title: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy complicated with acute pericarditis and cardiogenic shock.
abstract: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a relatively uncommon stress-induced cardiomyopathy that accounts for 2.2% of all acute myocardial infarctions. It occurs most commonly in postmenopausal women between the ages of 55-70. The most common complications that have been described are cardiogenic shock and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, stroke and apical thrombus formation. There have been multiple prior case reports of TC; however, our case is the first to report acute pericarditis as one of its complications.
