We herein report the first case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy triggered by influenza A virus. Myocardial involvement in influenza virus infection has been described in 10% of cases. The literature has principally reported cases of acute myocarditis ranging from asymptomatic to fulminant heart failure and cardiac tamponade. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy frequently occurs in the setting of significant emotional or physical stress or acute medical illness, with a predominance in postmenopausal women. We report the diagnosis, management and outcomes presented in this case, with the aim of describing a new cardiovascular complication of influenza virus infection.
