Abstract EN
Chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity is becoming increasingly prevalent with several new agents being used recently.
The incidence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy due to 5-fluorouracil based chemotherapeutic regimens like FOLFOX is not uncommon.
It is also seen with platinum based chemotherapy.
Most of these patients have reversible cardiotoxicity and the cardiac function recovers within a short period with supportive treatment.
Here we have a patient who presented with cardiogenic shock after 5 days of receiving FOLFOX regimen for colorectal adenocarcinoma.
She was treated with a percutaneous left ventricular assist device, Impella CP, for hemodynamic support with excellent outcome.
