Evolving ECG changes warrant Takotsubo consideration despite pacing; extends ECG characterization in paced patients but leaves open larger validation.
Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates that evolving ECG changes characteristic of Takotsubo syndrome can manifest even in patients with an underlying paced rhythm.
Núñez‐Gil et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Transient apical dyskinesia (Takotsubo syndrome) (n=1). Pacemaker was evaluated on Evolving ECG alterations. Evolving ECG alterations can be observed in Takotsubo syndrome even in the presence of a continued pacing rhythm from a pacemaker.
