Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome is an acute cardiomyopathy that mimics acute coronary syndrome and is characterized by acute heart failure with reversible ventricular motion abnormalities, in the absence of justifying coronary artery disease. This document offers an exhaustive review of various proposed hypotheses that attempt to explain the pathophysiology of this disease and provides an updated review of the different classifications that have emerged in recent years. In addition, we describe the main clinical characteristics of these patients, the diagnostic tests that must be performed and the most appropriate treatment.

Resumen

El síndrome de Takotsubo es una miocardiopatía aguda con una clínica similar a la protagonizada por un síndrome coronario agudo, y que se caracteriza por insuficiencia cardiaca aguda y alteraciones reversibles de función ventricular, en ausencia de enfermedad coronaria que las justifique. Este documento ofrece una revisión exhaustiva de las diversas hipótesis propuestas que intentan explicar la fisiopatología de esta enfermedad, y proporciona una revisión actualizada de las distintas clasificaciones surgidas en los últimos años. Además, describimos las principales características clínicas que estos pacientes presentan, las pruebas diagnósticas que se deben realizar y el tratamiento más adecuado para su manejo.
