We describe a case of an atypical variant of Tako-tsubo in a male patient following an elective direct current cardioversion (DCCV).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 78-year-old male whose atrial fibrillation persisted after earlier unsuccessful direct current DCCV and radiofrequency ablations presented to the emergency department for acutely worsening dyspnoea and orthopnoea 12\u2009h following his most recent DCCV. Previously, he was known to have non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Evaluation was notable for troponin I 0.019\u2009ng\/mL (negative &amp;lt;0.050\u2009ng\/mL), pro-brain natriuretic peptide 2321\u2009pg\/mL (reference range 0.0\u2013900\u2009pg\/mL). There were no acute electrocardiogram abnormalities. He required bilevel positive airway pressure but was weaned off eventually to room air. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed newly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 45\u201350%, associated with hypokinesis of the basal anteroseptal segment, as well as akinesis of mid-inferoseptal and mid-anteroseptal segments. Apical contractility was preserved. On Day 5 of hospitalization, diagnostic left heart catheterization again revealed benign coronary anatomy, and he was discharged home the following day.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Only five other cases of cardioversion mediated Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy have been reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case of DCCV-induced atypical Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy. Although overall prognosis is favourable, some have been observed to require advanced support therapy. Given risk for life-threatening complications, patients undergoing cardioversion should be educated on symptoms of congestive cardiomyopathy.<\/jats:p>\n
