Biventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy (BiTCM) is a rare entity, seldom reported. We describe a case of a female presenting with multisystemic inflammatory syndrome associated with the administration of a vaccine against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this particular case, the patient experienced the onset of symptoms shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Early recognition of biventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy and timely initiation of appropriate treatment are crucial. Prompt management includes stabilizing the patient's hemodynamic status, alleviating symptoms, and addressing any underlying causes, such as inflammation or immune-related responses. Close clinical surveillance is necessary to monitor the patient's cardiac function, assess response to treatment, and prevent potential complications.
