Abstract
A 52-year-old woman presenting with shortness of breath and having no related past medical history was diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. However, she revealed respiratory failure atypical with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.We diagnosed myasthenia gravis with myasthenic crisis by acetylcholine receptor-binding antibody titer with mediastinal tumor.Physical or emotional stress is well known to trigger the onset of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Similarly, myasthenia crisis is also triggered by stress. Here, we report a case of simultaneous occurrence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy and myasthenia crisis.
