Takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy in pheochromocytoma

Occurrence of Tako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy in Association with Ingestion of Serotonin/Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors

“…The evidence for this extends beyond the frequent precipitation by stress and the finding of elevated catecholamine levels in most series. For example, TTC has been reported after catecholamine administration [19], and in association with phaeochromocytoma [20]. Given that SNRIs increase catecholamine levels [13], the reported association of venlafaxine [15,16,21] and duloxuetine [14,22] in individual TTC cases is not surprising.…”

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Complicated With Neurogenic Pulmonary Edema and Takotsubo-Like Cardiomyopathy

“…3,19) Unlike NPE, TCM seems to occur in patients with goodgrade SAH as well. 19) The nomenclature of takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy 2,32) is important to differentiate from idiopathic takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which by definition should not have an extra-cardiac cause. 16) Although these two complications had been regarded as separate entities in the past, 18,35) recent studies indicate that they share a common pathophysiology and may coexist in the same patient.…”

The Sympathetic Nervous System in the Pathogenesis of Takotsubo Syndrome

“…Numerous investigators have reported both apical and nonapical variants of TS in the setting of pheochromocytoma or functional paraganglioma. [13][14][15] In one systematic literature review, pheochromocytoma occurred in 13% of the reported cases of TS. 13 Coupez and colleagues 16 found that the incidence of catecholaminergic tumors in their cohort of patients with TS was 7.5%, an incidence significantly higher than what has been reported in the general population.…”
