A Case Report of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Myxedema Coma.

The exact pathogenesis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) or broken heart syndrome is unclear. However, it is known to be a stress-induced cardiomyopathy. There are multiple causes of TC, and thyroid dysfunction is supposed to be one of the causes. We present a case of a 74-year-old female with a medical history of hypothyroidism who was admitted to the hospital with a myxedema coma and myocardial infarction. Her angiography had no evidence of plaque, thrombus, or spasm, and echocardiography showed apical ballooning, thus confirming the diagnosis of TC.
