Stress cardiomyopathy in the paediatric population: a case series.
Nadine AnninoAymeric CantaisEtienne JavouheyFlorent BaudinPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2024)
Neurological distress has been suggested as a potential cause of Takotsubo syndrome. The pathophysiology is possibly related to excessive stimulation of the sympathetic system. This syndrome should probably be considered in the setting of left heart failure with neurological distress so as not to delay the use of amines especially since in the paediatric population the probability of a coronary origin is low.
