Article Synopsis
- Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a heart condition that mimics acute coronary syndrome, often with a generally good prognosis but potential severe complications, especially after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
- The case involves a 61-year-old man with major depressive disorder who developed TCM after his third ECT session, experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath, but remained stable.
- After confirming that his heart function normalized, ECT was successfully reinitiated 14 days later, leading to significant improvement in his depression without any recurrence of TCM.
