Abstract

Autonomic disturbance develops commonly in neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). However, the association of cardiomyopathy is rare. Takotsubo-shaped cardiomyopathy is a unique reversible heart syndrome involving autonomic disturbance and mimicking myocardial infarction. We report a 63-year-old woman who developed Takotsubo-shaped cardiomyopathy during the course of NMS. Our case suggests the occurrence of reversible cardiomyopathy as the autonomic involvement of NMS.
