Abstract

A rare presentation of pheochromocytoma (PCC) is catecholamine-induced-cardiomyopathy, or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). PCC-induced TCM(PCC-TCM) can present as a typical or atypical type, based on the location of cardiac wall motion abnormalities. In this review, we sought to assess features and outcomes for PCC-TCM, and to compare typical and atypical subtypes.
