Key result
Takotsubo syndrome is a complex condition mimicking acute coronary syndrome with multifactorial pathophysiology, varied manifestations, and potential short- and long-term complications.
Why the study?
Pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of Takotsubo syndrome remain incompletely understood, with ongoing complications impacting prognosis and knowledge gaps warranting further research.
This review highlights the multifactorial pathophysiology, varied clinical manifestations, and potential short- and long-term complications of Takotsubo syndrome, emphasizing the need for future research.

Alerts clinicians to Takotsubo complications; leaves open optimal prevention and treatment strategies for future trials.
Takotsubo syndrome is a wide spectrum disease with a dramatic clinical presentation mimicking acute coronary syndrome albeit without obstructive coronary disease and typically manifests in the backdrop of intense emotional or physical trigger. Pathophysiology is incompletely understood with multifactorial mechanistic pathways circling around a heart-brain-endocrine axis. Several anatomic and phenotypic variants exist with varied clinical manifestations. The aftermath of Takotsubo syndrome is not always benign and both short- and long-term complications can occur which may impact its prognosis. Several gaps in knowledge exist providing an impetus for tremendous future research opportunities.
