Stress-induced cardiomyopathy associated with ipratropium bromide therapy in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as ‘broken heart syndrome’ or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and/or mid segments of the left ventricle, in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. We report the case of a 56-year-old mal...

Zusammenfassung:Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as ‘broken heart syndrome’ or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and/or mid segments of the left ventricle, in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with stress-induced cardiomyopathy associated with the use of ipratropium bromide, administered in the context of an acute exacerbation of COPD. A cardiomiopatia associada ao stress, também conhecida por cardiomiopatia de Takotsubo, é caracterizada por uma disfunção sistólica transitória dos segmentos apicais e/ou médios do ventrículo esquerdo, na ausência de doença coronária significativa. Apresentamos um caso clínico de um doente do sexo masculino, com 56 anos de idade, com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC), com cardiomiopatia associada ao stress que surgiu após uso de brometo de ipratrópio, administrado no contexto de uma exacerbação de DPOC.
