Takotsubo syndrome
ICD-10 I51.81 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome.
Takotsubo syndrome, also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a temporary heart condition often triggered by extreme emotional or physical stress. Symptoms mimic those of a heart attack, including chest pain and shortness of breath. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies and exclusion of other cardiac conditions. Treatment focuses on symptom management and may include medications to support heart function.
Common triggers include emotional stress, physical illness, or trauma.
