Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome, a form of acutely decompensated heart failure, has drawn interest because of its intriguing pathophysiology and therapeutic dilemmas. In their recent work in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, Abanador-Kamper et al. describe the therapy management in these patients and add valuable information on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging evolution.
