Abstract

Stress induced (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy (TC) represents an acute heart failure syndrome triggered by physical or emotional stressors. COVID‑19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented health crisis resulting in fear, distress and anxiety, with emerging cardiovascular implications. COVID‑19 related stress can act as potential trigger for TC. We present a case of an elderly female who developed TC due to stress surrounding COVID‑19.
