Tako-tsubo syndrome and atrial fibrillation. New trigger for cardiomyopathy. A clinical case

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is well-known to be a stress-induced cardiomyopathy. TS is triggered by external or internal, physical or emotional stress associated with a catecholamine storm, overactivity of sympathetic nerves, or microvascular dysfunction in the setting of systemic inflammation. We report the case of a patient with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy associated with atrial fibrillation and fibromuscular dysplasia of the left anterior descending artery.
