Takotsubo Syndrome With Cardiogenic Shock in a Caucasian Woman

Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a transient, reversible dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) without damage to the coronary arteries, which clinically manifests as acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or heart failure (HF). We are reporting the clinical case of a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who was admitted to our hospital with a clinical presentation of ACS and HF, but finally was diagnosed with TS. As it is known to us, this is the first case report of TS from Georgia. Accordingly, our goal is to promote scientific interest in this pathology because, till now, there are no modern guidelines or recommendations on the treatment and management of this disease
