Myriads of Arrythmias and Cardiac Arrest as Modes of Presentation in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Takatsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a relative novel condition that has been increasingly reported. Studies have shown the incidence on TC to be 1-2 % of all patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome which amounts a large subset of patients. Various arrhythmias have been reported with TC, varying from benign QTc prolongation to serious life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. We present two cases of TC with myriad of ventricular arrhythmias.
