A patient with ventricular fibrillation and inverted Takotsubo syndrome triggered by sinus surgery: Plausible causes, and electrocardiographic features Reply

I read with great interest the report by Demir et al. published in the July 2016 issue of the journal[1] about the 27-year-old woman who suffered ventricular fibrillation (VF) while recovering from propofol anesthesia after undergoing endoscopic nasal sinus surgery, and who, after successful resuscitation, was diagnosed with inverse Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), a phenotypic variant more commonly seen in young patients than classic Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
