Abstract
Right and left heart failure are very common clinical syndromes with close correlation. Right-sided or right ventricular heart failure usually occurs as a result of left-sided failure. We report a very rare case of transition from right heart failure due to pulmonary embolism, followed by its resolution, to left heart failure due to Tako-tsubo syndrome within 48 h of hospitalization.
