  • Title: Cerebral embolic stroke after disappearing takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Matsuzono K, Ikeda Y, Deguchi S, Yamashita T, Kurata T, Deguchi K, Abe K.
    Journal: J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis; 2013 Nov; 22(8):e682-3. PubMed ID: 23954602.
    Abstract:
    Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can induce cerebral embolic stroke because of intracardiac thrombosis, but the timing of cardiogenic embolism relating to takotsubo cardiomyopathy has not been well described. We evaluated a 71-year-old woman with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, who developed cardiogenic cerebral embolism after recovery of cardiac wall motion. Nevertheless, we treated her with anticoagulation therapy. The present clinical observation suggests that attention should be paid to the timing when takotsubo cardiomyopathy resolves against risk of cardiogenic cerebral embolism.
