Reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTTC) is a variant of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) or stress-induced cardiomyopathy. TTC is a transient cardiomyopathy resulting in a heart failure syndrome, triggered by emotional and/or physical stressors, that is usually self-limited. rTTC is characterized by basal wall hypokinesis and apical wall hyperkinesis, the opposite of TTC. rTTC is more commonly associated with neurologic conditions, most notably intracranial hemorrhage. We present the first case in the literature of rTTC specifically following brain biopsy.
逆转性 Takotsubo 心肌病（rTTC）是 Takotsubo 心肌病（TTC）或应激性心肌病的一种变体。TTC 是一种短暂性心肌病，导致心力衰竭综合征，由情绪和/或身体应激源触发，通常是自限性的。rTTC 的特征是基底壁运动减弱和心尖壁运动亢进，与 TTC 相反。rTTC 更常见于神经系统疾病，最常见的是颅内出血。我们报告了首例文献报道的脑活检后 rTTC 病例。
