We describe a case of an elderly woman who was diagnosed with a biventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) with combination of emotional stress and poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. We observed significant correlation between biphasic improvement of right (after 4 days) and left ventricle function (after 4 weeks) with normalization glycemic status. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of biventricular TTC with such metabolic disturbances.

Withdrawal from its long-term use can lead to potentially life-threatening complications, including Takotsubo syndrome. The authors highlight an atypical case of Takotsubo syndrome secondary to benzodiazepine withdrawal, a rare life-threatening complication of acute substance withdrawal.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heritable heart muscle disorder with fibro-fatty replacement that involves the right ventricle and in the advanced phases could become biventricular. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by reversible systolic dysfunction occurring after a stressful event and independent of the underlying coronary artery disease. A 70-year-old female with family history of sudden cardiac death and a previous diagnosis of biventricular ARVC presented to the emergency department after experiencing chest pain and elevation of myocardial enzymes.

In this particular case, the patient experienced the onset of symptoms shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
