| Abstract | While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has often been perceived as a predominantly respiratory condition, it is characterized by complications in multiple organ systems. Especially the involvement of the cardiovascular system, along with the possibly severe pulmonary injury, is crucial for prognosis. We identified three COVID-19 patients with takotsubo (TT) cardiomyopathy at our infectious diseases treatment center and present their clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic, electrocardiographic, and angiographic features. All patients were female (median age, 67 years); disease severity regarding COVID-19 ranged from asymptomatic to ARDS (adult respiratory syndrome) necessitating mechanical ventilation for 22 days. Angiography revealed normal coronary arteries in patient 1, severe three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) in patient 2, and insignificant bystander CAD in patient 3. All patients showed classic apical hypokinesia with basal hyperkinesia. In patient 3, TT cardiomyopathy resulted in transient cardiogenic shock. Twenty-eight-day mortality was 0% in this case series. In conclusion, takotsubo cardiomyopathy may be yet another clinical entity associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. |
