Abstract

Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage may develop takotsubo syndrome as a concomitant cardiovascular complication. This complication can be life-threatening or add a substantial burden of disease to the patient’s outcome. Therefore, this review is carried out with the intention of examining the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnostic studies and management of this entity.
