Objectives: This is the first case report of iatrogenic Takotsubo syndrome (TS) due to a combination of lisdexamfetamine and phentermine. Background: TS is characterized by transient acute ballooning of the left ventricular wall. Typically, it occurs in extremely stressed post-menopausal women, however a few iatrogenic causes have been described recently. Results: A 55-year old woman prescribed lisdexamfetamine and phentermine, presented with acute substernal chest pain. Acute coronary syndrome was excluded. The echocardiogram was diagnostic of TS, and she recovered spontaneously, with supportive care. Conclusion: Caution with the use of sympathomimetic medications in post-menopausal women appears warranted.

Increased Sensitivity

Takotsubo syndrome reflects an ‘aberrant’ response to acute catecholamine stimulation, largely but not entirely as a manifestation of increased sensitivity to β‎2-adrenoceptor stimulation and signal transduction via Gi proteins, especially in ageing female hearts. It is now apparent that prolonged impairment of quality of life and slow recovery of echocardiographic parameters such as global longitudinal strain after episodes of takotsubo syndrome reflect ongoing myocardial inflammation and associated oedema, together with impairment of cardiac energetics on phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
