A 63-year-old man was admitted for severe acute pancreatitis. On day 3 of hospitalisation, he developed shortness of breath and acute pulmonary oedema. Echocardiogram revealed global hypokinesis with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%, and he was diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. He developed cardiogenic shock which was treated successfully with a percutaneous left ventricular assist device. His left ventricular ejection fraction improved by hospital follow-up 3 weeks later.
