ABSTRACT

Resumen Antecedentes: El síndrome de takotsubo secundario a traumatismo raquimedular cervical es infrecuente y no se describen series de casos en la literatura. Pacientes y método: Se describe el caso clínico de una mujer de 82 años que ingresó en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos tras traumatismo raquimedular cervical y como consecuencia desarrolló miocardiopatía de takotsubo. Resultado: Desarrollo de una miocardiopatía de takotsubo tras un traumatismo raquimedular cervical. Conclusiones: En la actualidad el diagnóstico de miocardiopatía de takotsubo en Cuidados Intensivos está en aumento, en parte por el uso de la ecocardiografía trastorácica por parte de los Intensivistas; con ello se descartan otras causas posibles de la misma y no sólo la cardiológica o la descarga catecolaminérgica secundaria a una situación de estrés.


Abstract Background: Takotsubo syndrome secondary to spinal cord injury is rare, and there are no case series described in the literature. Patients and method: A clinical case is presented of an 82 year-old woman admitted to the Intensive Care Unit after a spinal cord injury, and as a results developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Results: A Takotsubo cardiomyopathy developed after a spinal cord injury. Conclusions: The diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is currently increasing in Intensive Care Units. This is partly due to use of transthoracic echocardiography by intensive care specialists. Using this technique they can rule out other possible causes of this condition, and not just the cardiological ones, or the catecholamine release following a stressful event.
