Takotsubo syndrome in a Sardinian amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cohort
TTS is not a rare condition in ALS. Female sex, bulbar involvement, and later age of disease onset may be important risk factors for developing this cardiac condition and a physical or psychological trigger is often observed. Despite autonomic dysfunction in ALS has been already demonstrated, the precise physiopathological mechanism underlying TTS needs to be further clarified.
