Abstract:
A 50‐year‐old lady presented with epigastralgia, electrocardiogram (ECG) showed T‐wave inversions and the echocardiogram low ejection fraction ( EF ) with apical ballooning. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy ( EGD ) revealed gastritis. She recovered with proton pump inhibitors treatment. This is the first case that describes gastritis‐induced stress cardiomyopathy. Clinicians should be aware of Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy (TCM) as a possible complication of gastritis.
