Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a clinical condition characterized by left ventricular dysfunction, clinically mimicking acute coronary syndrome. Despite significant advancements in understanding TTS, more questions about its underlying pathological mechanisms remain unresolved. The present review offered current data on the underlying pathological mechanisms of TTS, including central nervous system structural and functional alterations, sympathetic nervous system overstimulation, excessive catecholamine secretion, shifts in adrenergic receptors (ARs) distribution and balance, hormone influences, epicardial vasospasm, endothelial dysfunction and genetic predispositions.

Aims: Focal takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is rare, and limited data are available on its cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics. We aimed to define CMR characteristics and disease patterns of focal TTS.
Methods And Results: Patients with suspected TTS referred for CMR between 2008 and 2024 were retrospectively evaluated.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is an acute and reversible cardiac condition triggered by an adrenaline rush in response to stress that is characterised by apical ballooning of the left ventricle in the absence of coronary artery obstruction. Although the exact pathophysiology remains unclear, it is believed to be secondary to the release of adrenaline or catecholamine in response to stress. We present the case of a 71-year-old female who presented to a district general hospital (DGH) at approximately 1700 pm in the evening with signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis following the consumption of pistachios the night before.
