Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Overview Eduardo Bossone, Gianluigi Savarese, Francesco Ferrara, Rodolfo Citro, Susanna Mosca, Francesca Musella, Giuseppe Limongelli, Roberto Manfredini, Antonio Cittadini, and Pasquale Perrone Filardi Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a unique acute syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease, occurring mostly in postmenopausal women after emotional and/or physical stress. Given the nonspecific symptoms and signs, a high clinical index of suspicion is necessary to detect the disease in different clinical settings and scenarios. Noninvasive multimodality imaging may be useful to distinguish this cardiomyopathy from other acute cardiac and thoracic diseases. Coronary angiography remains, however, mandatory to differentiate TTC from acute coronary syndromes. This article reviews the clinical features and management of TTC and some new insights.

Abstract

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Overview Eduardo Bossone, Gianluigi Savarese, Francesco Ferrara, Rodolfo Citro, Susanna Mosca, Francesca Musella, Giuseppe Limongelli, Roberto Manfredini, Antonio Cittadini, and Pasquale Perrone Filardi Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a unique acute syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease, occurring mostly in postmenopausal women after emotional and/or physical stress. Given the nonspecific symptoms and signs, a high clinical index of suspicion is necessary to detect the disease in different clinical settings and scenarios. Noninvasive multimodality imaging may be useful to distinguish this cardiomyopathy from other acute cardiac and thoracic diseases.
