A case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy developing ventricular fibrillation after a pacemaker implantation

We report a case that developed potentially fatal complications after a pacemaker implantation.<Learning objective: This patient developed in-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation from takotsubo cardiomyopathy after a pacemaker implantation, which is of special interest because complications leading to in-hospital cardiac arrest just after a pacemaker implantation are rare. We consider this case report as an educational case that caused potentially fatal complications even after pacemaker implantation.>
