Case Report: Takotsubo Syndrome Induced by Severe Anaphylactic Reaction During Anesthesia Induction and Subsequent High-Dose Epinephrine Resuscitation.

ABSTRACT: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a type of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy characterized by an acute reversible left ventricular dysfunction with typical apical ballooning, usually with subsequent complete recovery. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are of great essence. Herein, we described a case of TTS of a patient who was scheduled initially for laparoscopic endometrial cancer staging. The 69-year-old woman presented with cardiogenic shock induced by the severe anaphylactic reaction to the antibiotics during anesthesia induction. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was implemented while several boluses of 1 mg epinephrine were injected. After the return of spontaneous circulation, a large number of orange peel-like rash appeared on the head, face, neck, and trunk of the patient. Transesophag
