Abstract
- Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a reversible form of left ventricular dysfunction with an apparently benign natural history after left ventricular recovery. Rarely there are complications such as arrhythmias and apical thrombus. We describe a case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy complicated with apical thrombus and persistent complete atrioventricular block after improvement of left ventricular wall motion. Resumo: A miocardiopatia de takotsubo constitui uma forma transitória e aparentemente benigna de disfunção ventricular esquerda. Raramente cursa com complicações como arritmias e trombos apicais. Descrevemos um caso de miocardiopatia de takotsubo complicada com trombo apical e bloqueio aurículo-ventricular completo persistente após a normalização da contractilidade do ventrículo esquerdo. Keywords: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, Complete heart block, Apical thrombus, Palavras-chave: Miocardiopatia de takotsubo, Bloqueio aurículo-ventricular completo, Trombo apical
