Snippet: Takotsubo's syndrome (TTS) is a form of stress cardiomyopathy with a relatively benign long-term course, but may lead to arrhythmias and cardiogenic shock in the acute setting. Despite a recent rise in suspected stress-induced cardiomyopathy, the relationship between the novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and TTS is not fully understood. Early recognition of TTS in these patients is important to guide management and treatment. We present 2 cases of TTS arising in the setting of COVID-19 wit
Document: Takotsubo's syndrome (TTS) is a form of stress cardiomyopathy with a relatively benign long-term course, but may lead to arrhythmias and cardiogenic shock in the acute setting. Despite a recent rise in suspected stress-induced cardiomyopathy, the relationship between the novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and TTS is not fully understood. Early recognition of TTS in these patients is important to guide management and treatment. We present 2 cases of TTS arising in the setting of COVID-19 with rapid progression to biventricular heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
