Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome is a state of an acute heart failure featuring reversible left ventricular dysfunction. In recent years, the incidence of Takotsubo syndrome has risen 8-fold. In this case series and literature review, we present the rare presentations or complications of Takotsubo syndrome and highlight diagnostic or management strategies. We aim to raise the awareness on the pathologic spectrum of takotsubo syndrome for the clinicians encountering this challenging diagnosis.
