Some psychosomatic diseases, like Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, may occur because of exposure to a stressful event like COVID-19. The simultaneous development of psychosis and Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy suggests a field of vulnerability. Specific measures need to be taken to help vulnerable people to manage these stressful events.

Background: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune multisystem disorder characterized by small vessel vasculitis with granulomatous inflammation. In this report, we describe a unique case of GPA who presented with complete heart block (CHB) and developed complications due to intracranial large vessel involvement.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a rare condition in children that causes acute, severe, but often reversible systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Physical trauma is a recognized trigger, although distinguishing TTC from myocardial contusion in pediatric trauma cases can be challenging due to overlapping clinical features. We present the case of a six-year-old boy involved in a high-impact motor vehicle collision.

Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for TTC in patients with CAD, especially when echocardiographic findings suggest apical ballooning. Balancing therapies for both conditions is essential.

Stress/Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a transient regional left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, often mimicking acute myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries. Rarely TCM can mimic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We describe a case where TCM presented with LV hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) which resolved on follow-up.
