title: Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy complicated by paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
abstract: : We report a case of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia complicating Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy. We hypothesize that increased adrenergic tone supposedly underlying transient apical ballooning syndrome may facilitate the onset of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias in predisposed patients.
