    Abstract

    We present a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy recognized in a patient just before induction of anesthesia. The patient's anxiety about surgery could have been an inciting factor. As the patient's surgery was cancelled and rescheduled for a later date, treatment and strategies to prevent recurrence of the syndrome are discussed.
