Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an underestimated acute heart failure syndrome masquerading as acute myocardial infarction at presentation and mostly affecting postmenopausal women. As TTS is often precipitated by emotional stress especially after negati...
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), popularly known as “broken heart syndrome”, is a type of reversible but not benign acute heart failure condition of unknown etiology, usually triggered by physical or emotional stress, affecting primarily elderly...
Takotsubo syndrome (otherwise known as broken-heart syndrome or left ventricular apical ballooning) is a rare cause of reversible heart failure that predominantly affects postmenopausal women. It was first described by Japanese researchers in the 199...
Broken Heart Syndrome, also known as Takotsubo Syndrome (TS), is sudden and transient dysfunction of the left and/or right ventricle which often mimics Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Japan was the first country to describe this syndrome in the 1990s,...
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as the broken-heart syndrome, is a reversible condition typically observed in female patients presenting for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Despite its increasing incidence, TTS often remains undiagnosed due to i...
The onset of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as stress cardiomyopathy, is thought to be associated with some life events. This study focuses on clarifying life event characteristics and the role of triggers in the onset of TTS. Participants with...
Background: There are emerging reports of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs); however, the association of the two remains uncertain. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed in th...
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute condition involving left ventricular dysfunction that may present clinically as acute coronary syndrome without obstructive coronary disease or congestive heart failure. Initially considered benign, TTS is now rec...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) still remains a very useful diagnostic method in modern cardiology. Its broad availability, noninvasiveness and good sensitivity explain why it plays a capital role in the very beginning of the process of diagnosis for every p...
First recognized in 1990, takotsubo syndrome (TTS) constitutes an acute cardiac condition that mimics acute myocardial infarction commonly in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease; it is characterized by temporary left ventricular dysfun...
Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TS) mimics acute coronary syndrome in 1% to 3% of patients presenting with chest pain, ECG changes and echocardiographic transient apical wall hypokinesia. Objectives: This study aimed to validate a previously develope...
Biventricular Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a rare variant characterized by involvement of both the left and right ventricles. This variant is associated with greater hemodynamic instability and longer hospital stays compared to the isolated left...

Objective: To present a case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) in the context of major neurocognitive disorder and identify important considerations for psychiatrists. Conclusions: Patients with neurocognitive disorders who are treated with antidepre...
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) or stress-induced cardiomyopathy is also popularly referred to as “broken heart syndrome” or “apical ballooning syndrome”. [...]
Background/Objectives: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as “broken heart syndrome”, is an acute and reversible cardiac condition often triggered by emotional or physical stress. Increasing evidence suggests a strong comorbidity...
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC), often referred to as stress-induced or “broken heart” syndrome, is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction predominantly involving apical hypokinesia and basal hyperkinesia in the absence of...
Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as stress cardiomyopathy or Broken Heart Syndrome, is a reversible, transient state of myocardial dyskinesis and apical ballooning. Infrequently, TCM may progress to severe life-threatening com...
