Case Description

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is typically triggered by excessive catecholamine release. Here, we present a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient experienced cardiac arrest, necessitating extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Coronary angiography revealed severe coronary vasospasm, and echocardiography showed left ventricular dysfunction with ballooning. The patient was transferred out of the emergency intensive care unit on the ninth day with improved consciousness.
