Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis and small vessel vasculopathy, which affects various organ systems, such as the heart. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient cardiomyopathy in reaction to an emotional or physical trigger. There may be clinical and pathogenetic overlap between Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and primary systemic sclerosis heart disease, and some patients with systemic sclerosis have been diagnosed with recurrent Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Our large systemic sclerosis clinical cohort was reviewed to identify cases diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The clinical features, laboratory and imaging results were reviewed and evaluated to perform a comparison between cases. We identified five patients with systemic sclerosis, all female (age 68.6 ± 5.7 years), who were diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Two of these patients had recurrent episodes: one case with a history of multiple episodes and the other with one recurrence. Typical features included repolarization abnormalities on the electrocardiogram and transient left ventricular dysfunction observed using echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Our findings build upon previous reports and observations that systemic sclerosis may cause Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, this is the largest case series of Takotsubo syndrome in patients with systemic sclerosis. This association may provide novel insights into the aetiopathogenesis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy as part of primary systemic sclerosis heart involvement.
