Key result
Dual-chamber pacemaker implantation triggers takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with a coronary fistula.
Why the study?
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy can develop after emotional or physical stress and may occur as a rare complication following cardiac implantable device placement.
Case Report (n=1)
May warrant consideration of fistula in post-pacemaker Takotsubo; leaves open whether screening or sedation prevents it.

Casale et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=1). Pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Development of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. A 68-year-old woman developed takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with a coronary fistula 24 hours after undergoing a permanent dual-chamber pacemaker implantation.
