May support considering Takotsubo in refractory adrenal crisis; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in prospective studies.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy should be considered in patients with Addisonian crisis who have persistent hypotension refractory to optimal resuscitation.
Singh et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, pituitary adenoma, secondary adrenal insufficiency (n=1). Supportive care and hormone replacement was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection fraction recovery. A 48-year-old man with a pituitary adenoma and secondary adrenal insufficiency developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy that completely resolved with supportive care and hormone replacement, with ejection fraction normalizing to 56%.
