abstract="OBJECTIVE: Takotsubo syndrome, also known as stress cardiomyopathy, is predominantly reported in postmenopausal women and it is often triggered by a physical or emotional stressor. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 44-year-old Caucasian woman admitted to the emergency department after voluntary intake of 20 tablets of flecainide 150 mg to commit suicide. During the in-hospital stay in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, the patient developed Takotsubo syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: The relative role of flecainide as a possible trigger of the syndrome is discussed in the context of the current literature evidence.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
