TLDR
The temporal relationship between the stressful event and the triggering of the clinical syndrome as well as the report of elevated catecholamine plasma levels during the acute phase suggest a possible involvement of the sympathetic nervous system.About:

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: Pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment
TL;DR: TCM is an important entity that differs from acute myocardial infarction, it occurs more often in postmenopausal elderly women, is characterized by a transient hypokinesis of the left ventricular (LV) apex, and is associated with emotional or physical stress.

Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma
Karel Pacak,Sunil J. Wimalawansa +1 more
TL;DR: Early diagnosis allows prompt screening for potentially lethal cancers associated with specific gene mutations and makes genetic testing more readily available to first-degree and other relatives of an index patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy in pheochromocytoma.
TL;DR: Although rare, pheochromocytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of TTC especially in younger patients presenting without antecedent stressors and a high complication rate, which point to a similar underlying cardiac pathophysiologic process at the time of the acute presentation.

Presentation, management, and outcomes of ischaemic heart disease in women
Viola Vaccarino,Lina Badimon,Roberto Corti,Cor de Wit,Maria Dorobantu,Olivia Manfrini,Akos Koller,Axel R. Pries,Edina Cenko,Raffaele Bugiardini +9 more
TL;DR: This Review assesses the evidence for sex-related differences in the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of IHD, and identifies gaps in the literature that need to be addressed in future research efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy has a unique cardiac biomarker profile: NT-proBNP/myoglobin and NT-proBNP/troponin T ratios for the differential diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes and stress induced cardiomyopathy
Georg M. Fröhlich,Boris Schoch,Florian A. Schmid,Philipp Keller,Isabella Sudano,Thomas F. Lüscher,Georg Noll,Frank Ruschitzka,Frank Enseleit +8 more
TL;DR: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy goes along with a singular cardiac biomarker profile, which might be useful to identify patients with TC among patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

TL;DR: Emotional stress can precipitate severe, reversible left ventricular dysfunction in patients without coronary disease andaggerated sympathetic stimulation is probably central to the cause of this syndrome.

Journal ArticleDOI
Apical ballooning syndrome (Tako-Tsubo or stress cardiomyopathy): A mimic of acute myocardial infarction
TL;DR: Apical ballooning syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with an apparent acute coronary syndrome with left ventricular regional wall motion abnormality and absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, especially in the setting of a stressful trigger.

TL;DR: A novel cardiomyopathy with transient apical ballooning, but without coronary artery stenosis, that mimics acute myocardial infarction was reported, and one died suddenly during follow-up.

Systematic Review: Transient Left Ventricular Apical Ballooning: A Syndrome That Mimics ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: The transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome, also known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient wall motion abnormalities involving the left ventric apex and mid-ventricle in the absence of obstructive epicardial coronary disease as mentioned in this paper.
