Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) involves acute heart failure after triggers.
  • Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) presents with acute neurological symptoms.
  • This report examines the co-existence of coronary artery disease, TTS, and PRES.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elaborate on a complex clinical scenario involving TTS and PRES.
  • To discuss the pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and management of co-existing TTS and PRES.
  • To highlight the similarities and need for early intervention in these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of an 82-year-old woman with seizures and heart failure.
  • Diagnosis of PRES confirmed by brain MRI showing vasogenic edema.
  • Diagnosis of TTS confirmed by echocardiography and angiography revealing no coronary stenoses.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with symptoms consistent with both PRES and TTS.
  • An interdisciplinary approach facilitated diagnosis and treatment.
  • The patient recovered without cardiac or neurological deficits within 4 weeks.

Conclusions:

  • TTS and PRES share similarities in pathogenesis, epidemiology, management, and outcomes.
  • Early recognition of this rare association is essential.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is vital for timely diagnosis and treatment of co-existing TTS and PRES.
