Chest pain after elective percutaneous coronary intervention as trigger of takotsubo syndrome—a case report
This case highlights the importance of recognizing TTS as a potential complication following PCI, particularly in patients with a heightened stress response. It emphasizes the need for increased awareness and the use of advanced diagnostic tools, such as CMR imaging, to accurately identify TTS. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for improving outcomes, especially in complex PCI cases where TTS can mimic more common coronary complications.
