A 50-year-old man with SARS-CoV-2 infection developed inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, presenting with cardiogenic shock and ST-segment elevation, which resolved after 10 days of medical support.

Case Report (n=1)
This report highlights inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy as a potential cardiac complication and differential diagnosis for acute coronary syndrome in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Solano-López et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Inverted Takotsubo syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection (n=1). SARS-CoV-2 infection was evaluated on Development of inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. A 50-year-old man with SARS-CoV-2 infection developed inverted Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, presenting with cardiogenic shock and ST-segment elevation, which resolved after 10 days of medical support.
