AI Article Synopsis
- Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a condition characterized by a temporary and reversible decline in heart function, particularly in women, triggered by emotional or physical stress.
- The exact reasons behind why TTC occurs are still not fully understood.
- Research indicates a potential connection between TTC and neurological disorders, prompting further investigation into how these conditions might lead to TTC.
Article Abstract
Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), is defined as a fully reversible acute deterioration of left-ventricular (LV) function, which is mainly found in women after an episode of emotional or physical stress (e.g. psychosocial stress, sepsis, surgery). The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. There is evidence suggesting a possible link between neurological disease and TTC. The pathophysiology of the several neurologic diseases has been reviewed searching for possible mechanisms that could lead to TTC in these patients.
