Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as the broken heart syndrome and stress cardiomyopathy, is a condition which results in left ventricular
systolic dysfunction. It is mainly triggered by extreme emotional stress. Onset of LV outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) during the acute phase of TTC is a rare but challenging complication that can lead to syncope
