Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Shock Supported by Continuous Hemodiafiltration in a Patient with Anorexia Nervosa

Abstract

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by relatively benign transient systolic dysfunction of the apical segments of the left ventricle. Reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (RTC) is a rare variant of TC. Here we describe a rare case of RTC and cardiogenic shock in a patient with anorexia nervosa (AN).
