Key result
Treatment with steroids resulted in a good clinical response in a patient presenting with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and Hashimoto's encephalopathy.
Why the study?
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with endocrine and thyroid diseases has been described, but its occurrence in a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and encephalopathy is rarely reported.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the potential association between Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and Hashimoto's encephalopathy, suggesting a lower threshold for endocrine screening in TCMP patients.

Possible steroid benefit in Takotsubo with encephalopathy; hypothesis-generating for endocrine screening in TCMP.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCMP), also called as stress cardiomyopathy, is a transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. TCMP’s association with endocrine and thyroid diseases has been recently described, but TCMP in a patient of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with encephalopathy is rarely reported. 1 Here, we present a recent case of TCMP in a patient with Hashimoto’s encephalopathy who was treated with steroids and responded well. Our case here highlights about having a lower threshold for screening of thyroid and other endocrine disorders in patients with TCMP.

Kumar et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with Hashimoto's encephalopathy and autoimmune thyroiditis (n=1). Steroids was evaluated on Clinical response. Treatment with steroids resulted in a good clinical response in a patient presenting with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and Hashimoto's encephalopathy.
