Takotsubo syndrome occurred in a middle-aged male patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy without a clearly identifiable initial stress trigger.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the possibility of Takotsubo syndrome coexisting with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy even without a clear stress trigger, necessitating comprehensive differential diagnosis in acute left ventricular function depression.
May support including Takotsubo in HOCM differentials for acute LV dysfunction without stress; case report leaves open association and management impact.
Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome (TKS) is generally caused by a stressful condition, and it usually has a good prognosis after the recovery of left ventricular function. About 70% of the cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may develop obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), which is responsible for heart failure. Case Presentation: We present a unique case where TKS occurred in a middle-aged male patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) without a clearly identifiable initial stress trigger. Conclusions: In the setting of acute left ventricular function depression in HOCM, a comprehensive dierential diagnosis should

Egea-Serrano et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy and Takotsubo Syndrome (n=1). Takotsubo syndrome was evaluated. Takotsubo syndrome occurred in a middle-aged male patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy without a clearly identifiable initial stress trigger.
