Acute Pancreatitis-Induced Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in an African American Male
نویسندگان
چکیده
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is triggered by multiple physical and psychological stressors and frequently mimics acute coronary syndrome. Acute pancreatitis as a trigger for TCM has rarely been reported. We report a 55-year-old African American man with hypertension and alcohol abuse history, who presented with epigastric and sub-sternal pain and electrocardiogram demonstrating ischemic changes. Laboratory parameters revealed elevated troponin-I, amylase, lipase, and metabolic acidosis. He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and ACS. Coronary angiogram was unrevealing for coronary atherosclerosis and he was managed conservatively for acute pancreatitis and heart failure from TCM.
