Özet
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy or takotsubo syndrome is a transient cardiac dysfunction which is precipitated by intense emotional or physical stress. It mimics acute coronary syndrome clinically (chest pain and dyspnea) and has specific echocardiographic findings in the absence of significant coronary stenosis. The underlying pathophysiologic mechanism is mostly due to stress-induced catecholamine release. This syndrome is more commonly seen in females especially in the postmenopausal period. The prognosis of stress-induced cardiomyopathy is usually favorable with a prevalence of in-hospital mortality of less than 2%. Reports of a single episode of stress-induced cardiomyopathy are common in the literature, but recurrence of stressinduced cardiomyopathy is rare. Herein, we present an uncommon case of recurrent stress-induced cardiomyopathy in order to provide an explanation of the pathophysiology of this unique syndrome.
