Resumen
ORTIZ-LASA, María et al. Takotsubo syndrome secondary to spinal cord injury. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.3, pp.237-237. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2017.07.012.
Background:
Takotsubo syndrome secondary to spinal cord injury is rare, and there are no case series described in the literature.
Patients and method:
A clinical case is presented of an 82 year-old woman admitted to the Intensive Care Unit after a spinal cord injury, and as a results developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Results:
A Takotsubo cardiomyopathy developed after a spinal cord injury.
Conclusions:
The diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is currently increasing in Intensive Care Units. This is partly due to use of transthoracic echocardiography by intensive care specialists. Using this technique they can rule out other possible causes of this condition, and not just the cardiological ones, or the catecholamine release following a stressful event.
