Key result
Systemic adrenaline triggers inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy, suggesting a central role for catecholamines.
Why the study?
The pathogenesis of inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy following systemic adrenaline administration was previously unreported and unclear.
Population

May warrant vigilance for cardiomyopathy after adrenaline; leaves open catecholamine causality in takotsubo.
Case Report (n=1)
This case provides evidence supporting the central role of catecholamines in the pathogenesis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Magri et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=1). Adrenaline injection was evaluated on Inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Systemic adrenaline administration for an allergic reaction induced inverted takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a young woman, suggesting a central role of catecholamines in its pathogenesis.
