Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is currently regarded as a special type of acute coronary syndrome. The syndrome can be trigerred by emotional stress factors and more often by some severe non-cardiac conditions. The long-term outcome of TTS patients is similar to those with myocardial infarction. The exact pathophysiological mechanism is not yet fully explained. Excessive amount of catecholamines released into bloodstream after stress attack plays a crucial role. The transient left ventricle dysfunction is probably caused by combination of several pathophysiological mechanism. There is little data concerning the treatment of TTS. It is important to focus on therapeutic strategies in order to eliminate risk of heart failure or TTS recurrence. The aim of the present review is to bring last known information about this disease.
