Reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after iatrogenic epinephrine injection requiring percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
2014
Purpose
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by the sudden onset of reversible left ventricular dysfunction. Associated refractory cardiogenic shock is a rare occurrence and may require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report a case of a patient who, following the inadvertent injection of 1 mg of epinephrine, presented with reverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and refractory cardiogenic shock that required the implementation of a percutaneous ECMO.
