Cardiac complications following surgery can be devastating especially if it is unrecognized. We present a case of a stress-induced cardiomyopathy that occurred in postoperative period following a robotic radical cystectomy and urinary diversion. While most cases of stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, are transient and with little to no long term clinical effects, a small number of patients can develop severe complications. This has not been reported in urologic literature and the unique characteristics of this cardiac condition are reviewed.Keywords
