Abstract (english)
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare complication of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), an effective and safe treatment for severe cases of depression and psychosis. There are reports on 16 patients who developed TC after ECT, and these were predominantly female patients treated with antidepressants for depressive disorder. We describe a case of a 40-year-old male patient, with a history of schizophrenia and heavy caffeine and nicotine use, treated for acute psychotic episode with haloperidol and clozapine. Propranolol was administered because of clozapine-induced tachycardia. After 8 weeks without therapeutic response, the patient was referred for standard ECT procedure, which included premedication and bifrontotemporal stimulation. Two hours later, the patient experienced gastric pain and had increased troponin and natriuretic peptide levels and ST-elevation. After inotrope and anticoagulant treatment and replacement of antipsychotics, the patient remained stable. Contrary to common opinion, previous adrenergic blockade in this patient did not prevent TC occurrence. TC pathophysiology remains unclear although it has been related to the burst of norepinephrine neurons. Psychosis has also been associated with catecholamine dysfunction, and excessive psychological stress with long-term norepinephrine dysfunction. Animal models have shown that ECT, clozapine, and nicotine and caffeine use could considerably increase catecholamine levels. Clinical understanding of rare cardiac ECT complications could improve early recognition of patients at risk for TC and ensure safe ECT protocols.
