Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the context of major neurocognitive disorder and multiple risk factors

Abstract

Objective: To present a case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) in the context of major neurocognitive disorder and identify important considerations for psychiatrists. Conclusions: Patients with neurocognitive disorders who are treated with antidepressants may be at increased risk of TTC. Treatment of anxiety and depression in patients with previous TTC should be monitored closely, and antidepressants less likely to cause hyponatraemia are recommended.
