	Respiratory insufficiency from myasthenia gravis and polymyositis due to malignant thymoma triggering Takotsubo syndrome.
	Finsterer J, Stollberger C, Ho CY. Int J Neurosci. 2018;128(12):1207-1210.
	This case shows that TTS may be triggered by stress from respiratory insufficiency during a myasthenic crisis, MG may be associated with polymyositis, cholinergic medication may trigger bradyarrhythmias, and cholinergic drugs and plasmapheresis may exhibit a poor effect if malignant thymoma and polymyositis are present.

	Paraneoplastic polymyositis associated with a renal carcinoma.
	Wurzer H, Brandstatter G, Harnoncourt K, Kullnig P, Kleinert R. J Intern Med. 1993;234(5):521-4.
	Over the next 6 weeks a bioptically proven polymyositis (more proximally located) caused a respiratory insufficiency which had to be treated by artificial respiration.
