Article Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy otherwise called stress cardiomyopathy, which results in debilitating of a segment of heart muscles, is a sort of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, set off by stress. We describe two case reports of takotsubo cardiomyopathy triggered by the significant stressful event being the death of pet cats. The rare nature of the type of stressor and the manifestation is something to be considered by healthcare providers.

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a group of heterogeneous diseases with different pathological mechanisms. It is often under-recognized because of its diverse differential diagnoses like myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), coronary microvascular dysfunction, vasospasm, coronary erosion, and embolism. Evaluation with multimodality imaging including intravascular coronary imaging and cardiac magnetic resonance is often necessary to determine the underlying etiology and management.

We describe a case of a woman in her 70s who presented with acute chest pain and ST-segment elevation on ECG. Multimodality cardiac imaging confirmed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy alongside a pedunculated left ventricular mass, presumed to be a thrombus, with suspected embolisation to the left anterior descending artery, triggering an acute myocardial infarction. She received guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure and anticoagulation for the thrombus.

Background: Age-related differences in Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) have been described, but there is limited information regarding TTS patients who develop cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods And Results: We analysed data from 408 CS-TTS patients in the RETAKO registry. Patients were stratified into three age groups: ≤50 years (9%), 51-74 years (48%), and ≥75 years (43%).
Use of Serotonin and Catecholamine Reuptake Inhibitors and Onset of Takotsubo Syndrome.

Objective: Takotsubo Syndrome (TS), is an acute, transient heart failure primarily affecting older women. Excessive sympathetic stimulation from emotional or physical stressors is assumed to trigger TS through a toxic surge in plasma catecholamines. Case reports have signaled the onset of TS following treatment with serotonin and catecholamine reuptake inhibitors.
