Abstract

We report a rare case of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy developed after excision of left atrial myxoma and adrenaline infusion given for blood pressure augmentation in a 56-year-old lady. Although the risk for developing Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy associated with adrenaline use has not been established, caution is still warranted.
