Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a transient cardiac condition characterized by regional systolic dysfunction, often precipitated by emotional or physical stressors. The pathophysiology of TS is not fully understood, but evidence suggests that it may be influenced by multiple factors. We present a case of TS following a traumatic left humerus fracture in an 82-year-old male patient with hypertension. Diagnosis was confirmed through comprehensive clinical evaluation, identification of ECG abnormalities, echocardiographic findings, and exclusion of other diseases. The patient’s management consisted of β-blockers, aspirin, and supportive care. Despite initial concerns, the patient's clinical course was uneventful, illustrating the various presentations of TS. This case emphasizes that TS can occur as a result of a traumatic event, particularly among older individuals with comorbidities. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential for optimizing outcomes.
