ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a unique type of reversible cardiomyopathy that is precipitated by a stressful mental or physical event. Although TCM was generally considered to be a benign reversible condition, arrhythmic risk is increasingly recognised. We discuss a case of TCM presenting with aborted sudden cardiac death. We have also explained the pathophysiology of QTc prolongation and repolarisation abnormalities associated with the condition.
