Key result
A 79-year-old female developed a mid-ventricular variant of Takotsubo syndrome following a right insular cortex ischaemic stroke, suggesting that insular cortex damage may trigger autonomic dysregulation.

May prompt cardiac monitoring after right insular stroke; leaves open a causal CAN role in mid-ventricular TTS.
Case Report (n=1)
Right insular cortex ischemia may trigger a mid-ventricular variant of Takotsubo syndrome due to dysregulation of the central autonomic network and subsequent increased sympathetic nervous system activity.
Osawa et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Mid-ventricular variant of Takotsubo syndrome and right insular cortex ischaemic stroke (n=1). Right insular cortex ischaemic stroke was evaluated on Development of mid-ventricular Takotsubo syndrome. A 79-year-old female developed a mid-ventricular variant of Takotsubo syndrome following a right insular cortex ischaemic stroke, suggesting that insular cortex damage may trigger autonomic dysregulation.
