Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy could be triggered by the use or exposure to 14 drugs of abuse, chemical substances or animal poisons, which in most cases generate a sympathetic overstimulation. Thus it is recommended to consider this type of situation in patients presenting this kind of cardiomyopathy, especially in those where a physical or emotional trigger cannot be identified.
