| Minhas A, 202013 | N/A |
| Dabbagh M, 202026 | “In our case, troponin elevation and apical hypokinesis occurred only after intubation and pericardiocentesis; therefore, stress from these procedures is also a possible etiology” |
| Kariyanna P, 202027 | “She was found at her home with altered mental status” “The developed stress cardiomyopathy/takotsubo cardiomyopathy is likely a result of stress, catecholamines and sympathetic overdrive from the ischemic stroke and ongoing COVID-19 infection” “Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, is known to be caused by physical stressors like stroke, sepsis, infections” |
| Taza F, 202029 | “The patient is a nursing home resident with history of schizophrenia” “In the emergency room, he underwent endotracheal intubation due to acute hypoxic respiratory failure and altered mental status” |
| Chadha S, 202030 | “Patient mentioned being extremely stressed due to current COVID-19 pandemic” “A history of either an acute medical illness or intense emotional or physical stress can often be elicited in these patients, which acts as a trigger for development of TCM. No such underlying cause was identified in our patient and anxiety related to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic was most likely the inciting event, as she was extremely concerned for her health” |
| Meyer P, 202036 | “The huge emotional stress at the population level and respiratory infections caused by COVID-19 may represent potential triggers in this context” |
| Moderato L, 202037 | “However, since all patients with SARS-CoV-2 present with hypoxemia and systemic inflammation, an emotional contributing cause in a predisposed subject cannot be excluded. In particular, in the case presented, the association between anxious syndrome (a known condition predisposing TTS) and a recent bereavement (husband) following SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The spread of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in family clusters can represent a further factor capable of significantly increasing the levels of emotional stress (also in light of the inability to communicate or have contact with hospitalized family members), thus favoring a state of central adrenergic hyperactivation in the determinism of TTS” |
