ABSTRACT = {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.},
