Unlabelled: Introduction y objectives: Tako-tsubo syndrome (TTS) is a cardiac condition that mimics acute coronary syndrome, characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of culprit coronary artery stenosis. Although its etiology remains unknown, reversible microvascular dysfunction secondary to an adrenergic surge is thought to play a role. Treatment is empirical, although most patients receive beta-blockers (BB) in clinical practice.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction without obstructive coronary artery disease, often mimicking acute coronary syndrome. Its association with diabetes mellitus and arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), suggests potential shared pathophysiological mechanisms. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with diabetes who developed sudden, severe chest pain and palpitations after cataract surgery.

Transient left ventricular dysfunction (TLVD), a temporary condition marked by reversible impairment of ventricular function, remains an underdiagnosed yet significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in clinical practice. Unlike the well-explored atherosclerotic disease of the epicardial coronary arteries, the diverse etiologies of TLVD require greater attention for proper diagnosis and management. The spectrum of disorders associated with TLVD includes stress-induced cardiomyopathy, central nervous system injuries, histaminergic syndromes, various inflammatory diseases, pregnancy-related conditions, and genetically determined syndromes.

Tako-Tsubo syndrome (TTS) presents as transient ventricular dysfunction, yet its underlying pathophysiology remains enigmatic. The prognosis of patients presenting with TTS appears to be impaired as compared to the general population and is similar to patients with acute coronary syndromes. Recent investigations have predominantly focused on elucidating therapeutic strategies associated with improved outcomes, particularly among post-menopausal female patients.

Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy, also called stress cardiopathy, is a rare syndrome characterized by transient regional systolic dysfunction. It can mimic myocardial infarction but the absence of coronary obstruction allows to redress the diagnosis. Its pathogenesis is not well understood.
