Key result
A literature review and analysis of published cases explored the pathophysiological link and shared features between spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
This review explores the pathophysiological link and shared clinical features between spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
May prompt SCAD evaluation in select Takotsubo cases; leaves open shared mechanisms for prospective study.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS) are two non-atherosclerotic causes of myocardial infarction. They share several common features. Firstly, they have a predilection for the female gender and, in both, the exact mechanism has yet to be fully established. Both they could be responsible for an acute coronary syndrome. Hence, we want to do further consideration based on pathophysiology, literature review, and cases presented affected by both entities up today.

Buccheri et al. (2017) conducted a review in Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS). Spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy was evaluated. A literature review and analysis of published cases explored the pathophysiological link and shared features between spontaneous coronary artery dissection and takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
