Core Tip An elderly man presented with dyspnea and neurological symptoms, including blepharoptosis. Simultaneously, the patient had signs of an acute myocardial infarction, but obstructive coronary artery disease was ruled out by coronary angiogram. Due to respiratory failure, the patient was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for non-invasive support. The next day, bedside echocardiography revealed left ventricular apical ballooning, typical for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Meanwhile, second consultation by the neurologist performing a diagnostic neostigmine test confirmed a myasthenic crisis. Altogether, the patient was diagnosed with a new-onset myasthenic crisis-induced Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Unfortunately, in this elderly man, this combination was fatal.
