摘要：Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, which was first described in Japanese patients in 1990 by Sato, et al.,[1] is a syndrome that is being increas-ingly recognized worldwide and usually character-ized by transient left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfu-nction after emotional or physical stress, with a good prognosis. TTS mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS) because it is often presented with chest pain, ST-segment and T-wave changes on the electroca-rdiogram (ECG), and mildly elevated cardiac enz-yme levels. Recent evidence shows that postmeno-pausal women are predominantly afflicted with this condition.[2,3] However, the exact pathophysiology of TTS remains to be elucidated. Relevant studies have found that TTS can occur simultaneously with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and even culp-rit lesions can be found using intravascular imag-ing. The long- and short-term prognosis of TTS is the same as, or enen worse than that of AMI.[4,5] Thus, more clinical attention should be given rise on cases of AMI complicated with TTS.
