Abstract

- A case of iatrogenic corticosteroids induced Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is proposed.
- Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is classically preceded by an emotional or physiological stressor.
- No specific trigger can be identified in up to one-third of cases of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
- The role of a multi-disciplinary approach is crucial when no clear precipitating factor can be identified.
