{Abstract}: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) associated with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in the event of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a rare cause of hypotension during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Herein, we describe a 57-year-old woman who presented with STEMI and underwent PCI. She developed hypotension which worsened during inotropic therapy. Echocardiography revealed evidence of LVOT obstruction in the setting of TCM. Therefore, inotropic support was promptly discontinued. Beta blockers and phenylephrine were rapidly administrated, resulting in improved blood pressure and stabilisation of the patient.
