Enhanced β-adrenergic signaling and catecholamine toxicity are key mechanisms underlying Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a pluripotent stem cell model.
Enhanced β-adrenergic signaling and higher sensitivity to catecholamine-induced toxicity were identified as mechanisms associated with the TTS phenotype. (International Takotsubo Registry InterTAK Registry InterTAK; NCT01947621).
Borchert et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
