Atypical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy presenting as acute coronary syndrome: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (TS) is a rare acute cardiac disease with clinical features, symptoms, and electrocardiographic manifestations similar to those of acute myocardial infarction. We present the case of a patient with TS caused by a pheochromocytoma, which was confirmed by the postoperative pathology. Furthermore, we present the patient's subsequent management, treatment, and outcome. CASE SUMMARY: A 64-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with episodic chest pain and palpitations, electrocardiogram (ECG) findings suggestive of high lateral wall myocardial infarction, echocardiogram showing left ventricular wall segmental motion abnormalities, and elevated levels of the myocardial marker troponin. The patient underwent coronary angiography, which revealed unobstructed blood flow without obvious stenosis. During their hospitalization, the patient had paroxysmal elevation of blood pressure accompanied by palpitations and profuse sweating, with elevated blood catecholamine levels during seizures. Subsequent computerized tomography of the adrenal glands revealed the presence of a nodule in the right adrenal, which was resected and determined to be an adrenal pheochromocytoma. Therefore, the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma-induced atypical TS was made. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery.
conclusionCardiologists should consider pheochromocytoma in patients with TS. Early detection allows timely intervention, benefiting patients.
