The recurrence of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy complicated by cardiogenic shock: a case report.
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a stress-related cardiomyopathy which occurs in postmenopausal women after severe emotional stress. Although no evidence supporting specific treatment with tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy has been established, the prognosis is considered favorable with normalization of wall motion abnormalities within weeks. In addition, recurrence of this syndrome seems to be rare. Now, we report a recurrent case of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy complicated by cardiogenic shock after repeated emotional stress.
