| Summary: | <h3>Key Clinical Message</h3><p dir="ltr">Healthcare workers are prone to very high level of physical as well as emotional stress that lead to devastating health-related consequences which include but not limited to cardiovascular events that may lead to death. Recognizing the risk of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy among healthcare worker is the main aim of this report.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TC) is a reversible left ventricular wall motion abnormality that could not be explained by coronary artery disease and is typically precipitated by either emotional or physical stress. There is no sufficient data regarding the incidence of TC among healthcare workers and people with myocardial bridging. Here we are describing a case of an ophthalmologist with myocardial bridging who developed TC while in the operation theater.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Clinical Case Reports<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ccr3.7353" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ccr3.7353</a></p> |
