Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient regional ventricular abnormalities in the absence of coronary artery disease and is reported as a complication of COVID-19.
It can have a diverse clinical presentation, occasionally resembling an acute coronary syndrome, and progress to acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock, adversely affecting patients' prognosis. A high index of suspicion and a thorough diagnostic approach supported by ancillary studies like echocardiography and coronary angiography is key for an accurate diagnosis and correct medical treatment. Herein, we report a patient with severe COVID-19 who developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
We also present a detailed literature review regarding the relationship between COVID-19 and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Takotsubo 心肌病的特征是在不存在冠状动脉疾病的情况下出现短暂的区域性心室异常,并且被报道为 COVID-19 的并发症。
它可能具有不同的临床表现,偶尔类似于急性冠状动脉综合征,并进展为急性心力衰竭和心源性休克,对患者的预后产生不利影响。高度怀疑和通过辅助研究(如超声心动图和冠状动脉造影)支持的彻底诊断方法是准确诊断和正确治疗的关键。在此,我们报告了一名患有严重 COVID-19 的患者,该患者发生了 Takotsubo 心肌病。
我们还就 COVID-19 和 Takotsubo 心肌病之间的关系进行了详细的文献复习。
