Takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy accounts for 1-3% of all patients presenting with suspected acute coronary syndrome, predominantly affecting postmenopausal women after emotional or physical stress. While historically considered benign, registry data show 4-5% in-hospital mortality with serious complications including cardiogenic shock, LVOT obstruction, and ventricular arrhythmias. The InterTAK diagnostic criteria and registry have standardized diagnosis and risk stratification.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Presentation FAQ
How should takotsubo be differentiated from STEMI in teaching slides?
Present the diagnostic challenge: both show ST elevation, troponin rise, and wall motion abnormalities. Key differentiators include ST elevation beyond a single coronary territory (especially diffuse anterior leads), absence of reciprocal changes, prominent QTc prolongation, and wall motion abnormalities extending beyond a single coronary distribution. The InterTAK diagnostic score (age, sex, trigger, psychiatric history, neurologic disease) can help triage pre-catheterization.
What management nuances should be highlighted?
Emphasize that treatment is supportive but nuanced: beta-blockers and vasopressors are contraindicated if dynamic LVOT obstruction is present (10-25% of cases), as they worsen the gradient. In LVOT obstruction, treatment mirrors that of HCM (phenylephrine, fluids, esmolol). For cardiogenic shock without LVOT obstruction, levosimendan or mechanical support may be needed. Anticoagulation is indicated for LV thrombus, which complicates 2-8% of cases.
How should the prognosis and recurrence data be presented?
Counter the "benign" misconception: in-hospital mortality is 4-5% (InterTAK registry), comparable to ACS. LVEF recovery typically occurs within 1-4 weeks, but long-term outcomes show increased mortality compared to age-matched controls. Annual recurrence rate is approximately 5%, and no pharmacotherapy has been proven to prevent recurrence despite ongoing trials of beta-blockers and angiotensin receptor blockers.
