Iatrogenic Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Following Overdose Norepinephrine Administration During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention A Case Report
2020
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterized by reversible ventricular dysfunction induced by endogenous and, occasionally, exogenous catecholamine. We present a report on a patient who developed TTC and cardiogenic shock during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) secondary to inadvertent norepinephrine administration. His hemodynamic status and cardiac function were totally restored within 1 week after hemodynamic support using intra-aortic balloon pump without sequela. Thus, TTC should be considered once a patient presents with symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after catecholamine administration.
