Novel Aspects of Classification, Prognosis and Therapy in Takotsubo Syndrome

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) can be considered a transient form of acute heart failure that mimics an acute coronary syndrome. Although many hypotheses have been formulated, the precise physiopathology of TTS remains unknown. TTS is associated with a heterogeneous clinical course, which ranges from beni...
