Abstract:
This study investigated the occurrence of left ventricular thrombus formation and subsequent embolic stroke in patients with Takotsubo syndrome. Through the case analysis of an 80-year-old Chinese elderly female patient, it was found that although Takotsubo syndrome is generally considered a self-limiting disease, it can lead to severe complications such as left ventricular thrombus and cerebral stroke. The patient experienced a cardioembolic stroke during hospitalization, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute cerebral vascular occlusion. This case highlights the importance of anticoagulation therapy, especially in the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with Takotsubo syndrome complicated with intracardiac thrombosis.
