Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy as a Manifestation of Dysautonomia in Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Series and Review of the Literature.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory polyneuropathy that classically presents with low back pain, sensory paresthesias, and rapidly progressive weakness. Patients with GBS can develop dysautonomia, and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a rare potential manifestation of this dysautonomia. This association has been reported only 12 times in the literature so far, which we review here.
