Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is an entity of reversible cardiomyopathy known for its association with physical or emotional stress and may mimic myocardial infarction. We report an exceedingly rare case of albuterol-induced TCM with moderate asthma exacerbation. An interesting association that may help in understanding the etiology of TCM in the asthmatic population. Although the prognosis of TCM is excellent, it is crucial to recognize beta agonists as a potential stressor.
应激性心肌病(TCM)是一种可逆性心肌病,以与身体或情绪应激相关联而闻名,且可能类似心肌梗死。我们报告了一例极为罕见的由沙丁胺醇诱发的伴有中度哮喘加重的应激性心肌病病例。这一有趣的关联可能有助于理解哮喘人群中应激性心肌病的病因。尽管应激性心肌病的预后良好,但认识到β受体激动剂是一种潜在的应激源至关重要。
