Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or "broken heart syndrome," is a reversible cardiac disorder characterized by left ventricular dysfunction without significant obstructive coronary artery disease. It is classically secondary to emotional stress in postmenopausal women but can also be secondary to physical stress. This report presents a unique case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy induced by intracranial hemorrhage in an 80-year-old female who presented with syncope.
应激性心肌病，又称应激性心肌病或“心碎综合征”，是一种可逆性心脏疾病，其特征为左心室功能障碍，而无明显的阻塞性冠状动脉疾病。典型情况下，它继发于绝经后女性的情绪应激，但也可能继发于身体应激。本报告介绍了一例80岁女性因颅内出血诱发应激性心肌病的独特病例，该患者表现为晕厥。
