Takotsubo syndrome following radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation in a patient with coronary artery anomaly: a case report.
Xiaoxia LiuXuan ChenXu LiChang Sheng MaPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2022)
Sometimes, it is hard to distinguish TTS from acute coronary syndrome because of similar manifestations. Multimodality imaging is helpful to confirm the diagnosis. Radiofrequency catheter ablation could be a rare trigger of TTS, and its incidence may increase in patients with coronary artery anomaly. Coronary spasm and increased cardiac sympathetic activity induced by the ablation might be the mechanism involved.
