Complications successives dans le syndrome de takotsubo – de l'oedème pulmonaire au choc cardiogénique aigu à l'arythmie ventriculaire : un rapport de cas

Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as “stress cardiomyopathy”, manifests as transient left ventricular dysfunction and shares similarities with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although often considered benign, it has mortality rates and complications (cardiogenic shock, arrhythmias, etc.) close to those of ACS.

This article reports on a clinical case of Takotsubo syndrome in a 70-year-old female patient who presented a series of complications. This serves as a reminder of the need for intensive follow-up during the acute phase.
