Takotsubo cardiomyopathy corresponds to a syndrome characterized by a transient myocardial dysfunction affecting the left ventricular apex that classically occurs after major physical or emotional stress (also called "broken heart syndrome" or "stress-induced cardiomyopathy"). The author describes the case of a patient with takotsubo cardiomyopathy induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage.
