Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a clinical entity resembling acute myocardial infarction that develops due to catecholamine discharge and coronary artery spasm following acute stress in postmenopausal women.

Ejection fraction was measured 60% in preoperative echocardiography. Anesthesia induction was achieved with 2 mg/kg propofol and 1 mg/kg fentanyl, after rapid serial endotracheal intubation was performed by using 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium bromide. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane. Residual block was reversed by 4 mg/kg dose of sugammadex and there was no there was complication in the perioperative period. In anesthesia management of patients with TCM, minimization of situations that caused an increase in catecholamine, if possible follow-up with advanced cardiac monitoring and it should be postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) preparation
