Key result
AF may trigger Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, possibly interacting with LAD fibromuscular dysplasia.
Why the study?
The role of atrial fibrillation as a trigger event for Takotsubo syndrome and its association with coronary fibromuscular dysplasia is not previously reported.
Case Report (n=1)
No change to AF or Takotsubo management; leaves open a possible AF-FMD trigger interaction for prospective study.

Demurtas et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Takotsubo syndrome (n=1). Atrial fibrillation was evaluated. Atrial fibrillation, possibly interacting with left anterior descending artery fibromuscular dysplasia, may act as a trigger event for the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
