A Rare Case Report of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy and Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Abstract

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCMP), also called as stress cardiomyopathy, is a transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. TCMP’s association with endocrine and thyroid diseases has been recently described, but TCMP in a patient of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with encephalopathy is rarely reported. 1 Here, we present a recent case of TCMP in a patient with Hashimoto’s encephalopathy who was treated with steroids and responded well. Our case here highlights about having a lower threshold for screening of thyroid and other endocrine disorders in patients with TCMP.
