Abstract:
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a clinical syndrome induced by a strong mental or physical stress, characterized by a transient hypokinesia, akinesia or dyskinesia middle segments of the left ventricle and apical, with associated electrocardiographic changes of ST-T segment like in acute coronary syndrome, with no significant changes in coronary arteries in coronary angiography. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is mainly found in women in the sixth and seventh decade of life and represents 1-2% of cases originally diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome. We present a case of tako-tsubo syndrome in the course of carbon monoxide poisoning in a 56-year-old patient, with a positive history of ischemic heart disease and hypertension. Moreover, the reasons for its occurrence were considered based on clinical course, laboratory tests and imaging, and available literature.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
