Both its diagnosis and treatment could be challenging; herein we describe a complex case of Takotsubo syndrome following mitral valve repair surgery associated with occurrence of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve , severe mitral regurgitation, consequent right heart failure and its peculiar clinical management.
