Bee sting: A rare cause of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Acute coronary syndrome following a bee sting is a rare phenomenon. There are rare cases reported in the literature following any arthropod envenomization including bee stings. Unfortunately, there has not been any detailed and systemic analysis of acute coronary syndrome following the bee stings. We report a case of a 63-year old otherwise healthy lady presenting to the ER with a bee sting with rash, itching, hypotension, anaphylactic shock and ST segment elevation on her ECG.
