Cardiogenic Shock Due to Serotonin Syndrome Induced Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy causes transient left ventricular dysfunction. It typically has a favorable prognosis but rarely leads to complications such as cardiogenic shock. Also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, it is precipitated by emotional or physical stress. Serotonin syndrome can cause se...

Sumario:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy causes transient left ventricular dysfunction. It typically has a favorable prognosis but rarely leads to complications such as cardiogenic shock. Also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, it is precipitated by emotional or physical stress. Serotonin syndrome can cause severe stress due to excessive serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. We report a case of cardiogenic shock precipitated by serotonin syndrome-induced takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Only one other documented case has exhibited cardiogenic shock in this setting.
