Abstract | Takotsubo syndrome is a condition that mimics acute coronary syndrome. The exact pathogenesis of the condition is unclear but it tends to occur more frequently in elderly women and a large proportion of cases have acute, former, or chronic neurologic or psychiatric disorders. Here we describe a 55-year-old female patient, who was brought to the emergency department presenting with a new-onset manic episode characterized by grandiosity, distractibility, decreased need for sleep, and increased goal-directed behaviours. She experienced chest pain approximately two days later, and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction was observed. The emergent coronary angiogram showed patent coronary arteries, and a diagnosis of Takotsubo syndrome was made. We suggest clinical multidisciplinary vigilance for somatic complaints, especially cardiac ones, in people with psychiatric disorders in order to make timely therapeutic interventions. |
