Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome is a rare entity, and the occurrence of Bartter syndrome
along with Takotsubo syndrome makes it a bizarre incidence. Diagnosis of both
is very crucial and important, as the signs and symptoms tend to be different for
each patient. Here, the authors present a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with
acquired Bartter-like phenotype and colonic stricture. It was promptly diagnosed
and well managed at first incidence, but failing a timely follow-up led to mortality of
patient, which highlights the importance of follow-up.
