Abstract
We report a rare case of inverted Takotsubo syndrome in a 24-year-old woman. Takotsubo syndrome, also known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome, is a transient condition characterized by acute and reversible dysfunction of the left ventricle. Cardiac auscultation showed regular heart sounds without audible murmurs, while pulmonary auscultation revealed crackles at the lung bases. The abdominal examination was unremarkable. This case of a young 24-year-old patient with no significant cardiovascular history presenting with inverted Takotsubo syndrome following surgery for complicated appendicitis highlights the importance of recognizing this condition in atypical populations. The patient's favorable clinical course, with complete recovery of left ventricular function at four weeks and no recurrence during one year of follow-up, is consistent with the generally good prognosis associated with Takotsubo syndrome.
