Excerpt

In their report in this issue of the Journal, Suk et al. describe the case of a 37-year-old female who developed anaphylaxis in response to cefotiam administration during a laparoscopic surgical procedure.1 A prolonged period of profound hypotension was followed by appropriate resuscitative maneuvers, but the patient subsequently developed a cardiomyopathy requiring ongoing medical treatment. The authors highlight a rather unusual presentation of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy which occurred in the perioperative setting. …
