Abstract
Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS, also named stress-induced cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome) is an acute and reversible ventricular dysfunction of the heart, in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Likely due to the rising prevalence of modern life stressors and greater awareness of TTS by medical communities, TTS has been increasingly found worldwide [1-3], including those recently reported from the first Chinese TTS registry (ChiTTS registry) [4]. Although TTS still predominantly occur in elderly women, and is triggered by mental stress, it also happens in men and to be triggered by physical stress (with likely worse outcomes), which has been particularly true during COVID-19 pandemic time [5]. TTS is not to be a benign disorder despite the recovery of its systolic function later. Long-term outcomes of TTS survivors are actually comparable with those of acute myocardial infarction, and all-cause death is more than 5% per year [6]. An essential proportion of TTS patients are left with persistent cardiovascular abnormalities, leading to reduced quality of life and chronic complications including arrhythmias, reduced myocardial reserve, and compromised exercise capacity [7]. Considering relatively low in-hospital mortality rate [4], the onset of TTS has actually become a vital predictor of follow-up problems. Secondary prevention is evidently needed for TTS patients. Nevertheless, poor phenotypic grouping of TTS patients prevents effective therapeutic strategies for long-term risk reduction.
