ECT may precipitate Takotsubo cardiomyopathy despite beta-blockade; this case leaves open questions on screening and prevention.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the risk of developing Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following electroconvulsive therapy even in patients on beta-blockers.
Narayanan et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Treatment-refractory depression (n=1). Electroconvulsive therapy was evaluated on Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Electroconvulsive therapy triggered Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient despite long-term beta-adrenergic receptor blockade.
