Alerts to possible Takotsubo after stroke thrombolysis; hypothesis-generating for anticoagulation until ventricular recovery.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the potential for acute ischemic stroke to trigger Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, emphasizing the consideration of hypocoagulation to prevent cardioembolic events until ventricular function recovers.
Amaral-Silva (2012) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and acute ischemic stroke (n=1). Intravenous thrombolysis (t-PA) was evaluated. A 70-year-old woman developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following an acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis, highlighting the potential for cardioembolic complications.
