“…Use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography has been helpful in diagnosis of intraoperative stress cardiomyopathy. [10] Although TCM is underreported (2-5%) of all acute coronary syndromes, this transient pathological entity may be much higher than reported. Any suspected cardiac event in susceptible patients should be followed up with a coronary angiography not only for patient safety but for accurate understanding of this disease entity which may or may not be rare.…”

“…TCM has been reported in perioperative periods[78910] It is commonly encountered in post-menopausal women with hypertension and is precipitated by acute physical or emotional stress. [2456789] Identification of susceptible patients, reduction in perioperative stress and postoperative pain is an integral part of anaesthesia management which prevents the occurrence of such major cardiovascular complication.…”

“…The septal region and base of the heart are spared, whereas the right ventricular function remains intact. 17 In a study by Hurst et al, 14 as many as 40% of takotsubo patients demonstrated a mid-ventricular variant. Although the apical ballooning is transient, the LV function appears low during the peak cardiomyopathy period.…”

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (often referred to as broken heart syndrome) typically presents as apical ballooning, chest pain, shortness of breath, abnormal cardiac enzymes, and electrocardiogram changes. Although takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimics symptoms of an acute coronary event, in most cases it is a reversible cardiomyopathy with no long-term effects. Echocardiography is the noninvasive test of choice for initial presentation and follow-up of this syndrome. A case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy is presented and its clinical signs, echocardiographic features, and management discussed.

“…Some authors found a coincidence of surgical interventions and the onset of Takotsubo. 4–10 Artukoglu and coworkers describe a case of Takotsubo in the context of knee arthroscopy. 5 Gologorsky and Gologorsky present the case of a 43 year-old female that developed the signs of Taksotsubo intraoperatively during lumbar interbody fusion.…”

“… 5 Gologorsky and Gologorsky present the case of a 43 year-old female that developed the signs of Taksotsubo intraoperatively during lumbar interbody fusion. 8 Takotsubo has also been described in patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation therapy of hepatic tumors 9 or ophthalmic surgery. 6 These cases support the theory that stressful events may trigger Takotsubo.…”
