Mechanisms of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy; Role of Microcirculatory Dysfunction
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction, typically preceded by an emotional or a physical stressor. The underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms include multivessel coronary vascular spasm, microvascular dysfunction, neurogenic stunning of the myocardium an...
