May indicate bidirectional stroke-Takotsubo link; leaves open whether anticoagulation aids recovery.
Case Report (n=1)
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can cause acute left ventricular dysfunction leading to cardiac embolism and acute ischemic stroke, suggesting a potential role for hypocoagulant therapy until ventricular recovery.
Amaral‐Silva et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and acute ischemic stroke (n=1). Intravenous thrombolysis and hypocoagulation therapy was evaluated on Clinical recovery and ventricular function. A patient with acute ischemic stroke developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which was successfully managed with supportive care and hypocoagulation therapy, leading to full ventricular recovery by day 7.
