Pathophysiology of Takotsubo Syndrome
Open accessAbstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) has been a recognized clinical entity for 31 years, since its first description in 1990. TTS is now routinely diagnosed in patients who present with acute chest pain, electrocardiographic changes, troponin elevation, unobstructed coronary arteries, and a typical pattern of circumferential left ventricular wall motion abnormalities that usually involve the apical and midventricular myocardium. Increasing understanding of this intriguing syndrome stems from wider recognition, possible increasing frequency, and a rising number of publications focused on the pathophysiology in clinical and laboratory studies. A comprehensive understanding of TTS pathophysiology and evidence-based treatments are lacking, and specific and effective treatments are urgently required. This paper reviews the pathophysiology of this fascinating syndrome; what is known from both clinical and preclinical studies, including review of the evidence for microvascular dysfunction, myocardial beta-adrenergic signaling, inflammation, and electrophysiology; and where focused research needs to fill gaps in understanding TTS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
