Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or "broken heart syndrome," is a reversible cardiac disorder characterized by left ventricular dysfunction without significant obstructive coronary artery disease. It is classically secondary to emotional stress in postmenopausal women but can also be secondary to physical stress. This report presents a unique case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy induced by intracranial hemorrhage in an 80-year-old female who presented with syncope.
