Case Report (n=1)
5-fluorouracil chemotherapy can induce a severe but reversible Tako-Tsubo-like syndrome, highlighting the need for careful cardiac monitoring during treatment.
Basselin et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Tako-Tsubo-like syndrome (n=1). 5-fluorouracil was evaluated on Development of acute coronary Tako-Tsubo-like syndrome. A 48-year-old man developed acute coronary Tako-Tsubo-like syndrome with severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF 15%) after receiving 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy.
