Aim To report a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy secondary to a verbal altercation in an employee who presented with chest pain. Methods The clinical history was obtained from the patient's occupational health record and correspondence from her treating cardiologist. Results The patient was diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following investigations for chest pain. Her echocardiogram was diagnostic. She was treated with beta blockers and advised to have complete rest; she remained out of work for six months. Conclusion There are few published cases of work related Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; it poses a challenge to physicians to be cognisant of this condition in a case of chest pain following emotional turmoil.
报告一例因员工言语争执而继发于 Takotsubo 心肌病的病例，该员工以胸痛就诊。
从患者的职业健康记录和治疗心脏病专家的通信中获取临床病史。
患者经胸痛检查后诊断为 Takotsubo 心肌病。她的超声心动图具有诊断意义。她接受了β受体阻滞剂治疗并被建议完全休息；她仍停工六个月。
与工作相关的 Takotsubo 心肌病的病例很少见；在情绪波动后出现胸痛的情况下，医生要意识到这种情况存在一定的挑战性。
