“…Takotsubo syndrome is typically preceded by a physical or emotional event that acts as a trigger [ 18 ]. Although the particular physiopathology of TTS in COVID-19 is not completely understood, some mechanisms of TTS from other causes are shared, such as myocardial toxicity due to high levels of catecholamines and cytokines, sustained inflammation, and microvascular dysfunction, all of which are predominant in subjects with severe COVID-19 [ 4 , 53 - 55 ]. A study from the Cleveland Clinic found an increased incidence of TTS during the pandemic with a rate ratio of 4.58.…”

Bckground: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient regional ventricular abnormalities in the absence of coronary artery disease and is reported as a complication of COVID-19. Case Representation: It can have a diverse clinical presentation, occasionally resembling an acute coronary syndrome, and progress to acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock with an adverse effect on patients' prognosis. A high index of suspicion and a thorough diagnostic approach supported by ancillary studies like echocardiography and coronary angiography is key for an accurate diagnosis and correct medical treatment. Herein, we report a patient with severe COVID-19 who developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Conclusion: We also present a detailed review of the available literature regarding the relationship between COVID-19 and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
