A case of shock after STEMI: Think beyond the cardiogenic one.

ABSTRACT: Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can typically complicate with the development of cardiogenic shock; nevertheless, other less frequent types of shock may occur, including adrenal crisis (AC). We describe a case of STEMI complicated by AC and, for the first time, AC-induced focal takotsubo syndrome.
