Implication

Should not yet exclude TTC despite relevant CAD with mismatched territories; hypothesis-generating for revised diagnostic criteria.

Key Points

To understand the interplay between coronary artery disease and tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy.
Analyzed cases of TTC in patients with documented coronary artery disease.
Investigated the anatomical relevance of stenotic arteries to myocardial dysfunction.
Found that dysfunctional myocardium often extends beyond the territory of a single stenotic artery.
Concluded that the presence of CAD should not exclude the diagnosis of TTC in affected patients.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC)

Angiographically relevant coronary artery disease should not automatically exclude a diagnosis of Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy if the regional wall motion abnormalities do not match the coronary territory.
