ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare condition associated with transient akinesia of apical segments and hyperkinesia of basal segments of the heart. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to cause direct and indirect myocardial damage owing to catecholamine excess, the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown. An 18-year-old female was referred to our otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic for a septorhinoplasty. Apart from the fear of surgery, the patient had no other health issues. After the administration of local anesthesia (lidocaine and epinephrine mix), tachycardia storms occurred and soon ended with cardiac collapse. Further evaluation revealed TTC. TTC should be considered, especially in cases of treatment-resistant hemodynamic problems after cardiac resuscitation, and nurses can play a crucial role during the preanesthetic period in helping the patient cope with the stress factors related to the upcoming surgery.
