Secretory pheochromocytomas have been previously implicated in cases of TS (PTS), however, often present atypically, are associated with reoccurrence, and have higher rates of complications. We describe the case of a 70-year-old female who presented central chest pain, hypotension and electrocardiogram changes on a background of a 6-month prior episode of resolved Takotsubo\u2019s with unknown cause. After progressing to cardiogenic shock with biventricular failure, computerized tomography coronary aortogram revealed an incidental adrenal mass, later proven to be a secretory pheochromocytoma on biochemistry and subsequent histology. PTS has been associated with recurrence and rarely presents as cardiogenic shock. This case highlights the complexity of TS presentations and complications and the diagnostic delays that may occur in PTS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omac066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]],"date-time":"2022-06-27T10:38:10Z","timestamp":1656326290000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The
