16. Pathophysiology and treatment of Takotsubo Syndrome - insights from preclinical studies
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also recognized as “stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC)” and “broken heart syndrome”, is an acute cardiac failure syndrome characterized by transient regional ventricular akinesia or hypokinesia, and often presents similarly to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In contrast to AMI, the characteristic regional myocardial akinesia in TTS does not involve a culprit coronary artery. LÄS MER
