Name of journal: Gastroenterology researchAbstract: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is classically associated with emotional stress in middle-aged women. In clinical practice, physical stressors are a more common cause of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Here, we present two patients who had acute pancreatitis as a physical stressor that caused Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and an additional 13 cases identified in the literature. An important clinical feature of these cases is that because metabolic derangements are often encountered, close attention to electrolyte repletion with cardiac monitoring is indicated.
