Host Sarah Lorenzini shares the case of a patient who went from experiencing shortness of breath and nausea to a serious cardiac emergency. She breaks down the patient’s initial presentation, their quick decline featuring hypoxia and flash pulmonary edema, and ultimate diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
In this episode, Sarah dives into the pathophysiology of takotsubo cardiomyopathy, covering how emotional or physical stress leads to the condition. She goes over its symptoms and treatment, as well as the role of nurses in managing the condition.
