May warrant post-ECT vigilance for delayed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; single case leaves open incidence and risk stratification.
Case Report (n=1)
Electroconvulsive therapy can rarely be complicated by Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and subsequent left ventricular thrombus, highlighting the need for clinical awareness and appropriate management.
Agarwal et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and left ventricular thrombus (n=1). Electroconvulsive therapy was evaluated on Development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and left ventricular thrombus. Electroconvulsive therapy was associated with the delayed development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and a left ventricular apical thrombus, which resolved after eight weeks of anticoagulation.
