May warrant vigilance for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after perioperative stress; single case leaves open need for prospective studies.
Case Report (n=1)
Perioperative stress and general anesthesia can trigger Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which mimics acute myocardial infarction but typically has a favorable prognosis with supportive care.
Gavish et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=1). General anesthesia was evaluated on Development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. A 55-year-old woman developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimicking acute myocardial infarction after general anesthesia for eye surgery, likely due to excessive perioperative catecholamine release.
