Overview

Acute stressors may trigger reversible reverse Takotsubo; this case leaves open whether screening or management protocols should change.

Structured PICO

P
Population
34-year-old female with a history of diabetes mellitus type II who presented with cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation after hypoxia during intubation for elective eye surgery.

This case highlights that acute physiological stressors, such as hypoxia and general anesthesia, can trigger reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which may present with basal akinesis and rapidly recover once stressors are removed.
