This case report includes an extremely rare and intriguing presentation of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), triggered by forceful vomiting in the setting of gastroparesis, a condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying. TCM is a reversible form of cardiomyopathy that typically occurs following a severe emotional or physical stressor. In this exceptional case, we present a patient with an acute severe episode of gastroparesis, followed by TCM, devoid of any recognizable emotional or physical stressors. This case highlights the importance of considering non-traditional triggers in TCM cases.
本病例报告包含了应激性心肌病（TCM）一种极其罕见且引人关注的表现形式，其由胃轻瘫（一种以胃排空延迟为特征的病症）时的剧烈呕吐引发。应激性心肌病是一种可逆性心肌病，通常在严重的情绪或身体应激源后发生。在这个特殊病例中，我们呈现了一名患者，先是急性严重胃轻瘫发作，随后出现应激性心肌病，且不存在任何可识别的情绪或身体应激源。该病例凸显了在应激性心肌病病例中考虑非传统触发因素的重要性。
