There are a number of possible complications in patients who present with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Left-sided congestive heart failure with pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, ventricular fibrillation, left ventricular thrombus formation, and left ventricular free wall rupture are all possibilities.
