Abstract: Takotsubo syndrome is an acute cardiomyopathy with a clinical presentation similar to acute coronary syndrome, characterized by reversible alterations in ventricular function, leading to complications of acute heart failure in the absence of underlying coronary artery disease. Its triggering pathophysiology is unknown and there is no consensus regarding its treatment. A clinical case of unusual characteristics is presented, which debuted in cardiorespiratory arrest secondary to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, with rapid return to spontaneous circulation, and good response to medical management.
