Abstract
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), is a type of reversible left ventricular dysfunction that occurs after emotional or physical stress and manifests as chest pain, electrocardiographic changes mimicking myocardial ischemia, cardiac enzyme elevation, transient left ventricular dysfunction involving mid and apical segments and normal or near-normal coronary angiography. This syndrome could happen after iatrogenic stressors like anesthesia or surgery. We hereby present two cases of TCM after anesthesia and surgery. In both cases, clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, and angiographic findings are employed to confirm this diagnosis.
