In this week's episode Peter and Stuart discuss Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Perioperative Risk Assessment.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy often occurs after severe emotional or physical stress. It is so-called because it causes the left ventricle to balloon out and resemble the shape of pots the Japanese use to catch octopus.

They also list the top 5 things to consider when carrying out a Perioperative Risk Assessment.
