The syndrome of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterized by the occurrence of acute chest pain, electrocardiographic signs of ischemia, and transient balloon-like abnormalities in cardiac wall motion mostly involving the left ventricular apex. Significant obstructive coronary artery disease is absent. Owing to its clinical and imaging characteristics, TTC is frequently misdiagnosed as an acute coronary syndrome. Tako-Tsubo syndrome was first described in the 1990s in Japan, but meanwhile has been increasingly identified in other parts of the world also. TTC predominantly affects postmenopausal women, and may involve up to 2% of all patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Apart from single case reports, no systematic data from Austria are currently available.
