title: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with multiple autoimmune disorders and hyperthyroidism.
abstract: Takotsubo cardiomypathy is a very rare cardiovascular syndrome leading to myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of a detectable coronary artery lesion. It is accepted as reversible left ventricular asynergy occuring typically after an intrinsic adrenergic hyperstimulation.
