Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and anaesthesia: Case report and review of the literature
2014, Revista Espanola de Anestesiologia y ReanimacionCitation Excerpt :The occurrence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can be decreased by blockade of α and β-adrenergic receptors before and during anaesthesia.50 Many cases of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy described in the literature have occurred in the peri-operative period.51–74 Anxiousness and fear for anaesthesia and surgery, stress from endotracheal intubation, pain from surgical stimulation and postoperative pain might play an important role because they release catecholamines.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for tako-tsubo syndrome after urgent caesarean section
2013, Annales Francaises d'Anesthesie et de ReanimationGender differences in the manifestation of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy
2013, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :One still poorly understood aspect of TTC is the marked gender discrepancy. TTC is predominantly diagnosed in postmenopausal women although premenopausal women, men and even children of both sexes may be affected [1,18,26–30]. It is currently unclear whether underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis may be one reason for the apparent lower prevalence of TTC in men.

2013, Heart Failure ClinicsCitation Excerpt :A few hours later, pulmonary edema, requiring mechanical ventilatory support occurred because of TTC. The patient was stabilized after the placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump.41 TTC is induced by the drugs mentioned thus far.
