Core Tip

Core Tip: In this paper, we report a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy caused by bronchoscopic operation, which is rare in clinical practice. The diagnosis is clear. And some novel indicators from echocardiogram were measured, like left ventricular myocardial work index and left ventricular myocardial work efficiency, to evaluate the recovery of ventricular function accurately.
