Abstract：Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as stress cardiomyopathy, occurs in approximately 2% of all patients presenting with suspected acute coronary syndrome.[1] The in-hospital mortality rate of patients with TTS is reported to be approximately 4%-5%.[2] This condition is commonly associated with various rhythm and conduction disturbances, such as atrial fibrillation (5%-15%), ventricular arrhythmias (4%-9%), and rarely sinus node dysfunction (1.3%).[3] However, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) in the context of TTS is rare and poorly documented in current medical literature.
