Abstract
The Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare haemodynamic dysfunction, only recently reported perioperatively. While the diagnostic criteria have been established and the outcome is known as favorable, the pathophysiological mechanisms are not entirely understood. Here we present the case of a patient scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy and adnexectomy, who early postoperatively developed a Takotsubo cardiomyopathy supposedly triggered by an acute hypertensive crisis due to intraoperative fluid overload.
