Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a major diagnostic and treatment challenge in COVID-19 patients. Early diagnosis is essential, since anticoagulant treatment determines patient outcomes. Pulmonary embolism is a frequent complication of COVID-19 infection that has important prognostic implications. Over 60% of PE episodes occur during the first 90 days after the discharge, where properly selected thromboprophylaxis is prognostically essential. Recurrent embolisms and fatal outcomes can be prevented with timely diagnosis and treatment. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is one the causes of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries with generally good prognosis. We present a case of high-risk PE in a post-COVID-19 infection patient additionally complicated by Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
