Key result
Isolated RV Takotsubo presents as a rare stress-induced cardiomyopathy featuring acute RV failure with preserved LVEF.
Why the study?
Isolated right ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare stress-induced variant characterized by acute RV failure with preserved left ventricular function, posing diagnostic challenges.
Population
A 43-year-old woman with prior gastric bypass surgery presenting with acute RV failure symptoms

Supports biventricular assessment in suspected Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; extends phenotypic spectrum and is hypothesis-generating for future research.
Case Report (n=1)
Isolated right ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare stress-induced variant that requires multimodal imaging for diagnosis and can completely recover with supportive management.
Takagi et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Isolated right ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=1). Supportive management was evaluated on Recovery of RV function. Supportive management resulted in complete recovery of right ventricular function in a 43-year-old woman with isolated right ventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
