Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with immune-mediated comorbidities: a case report
In line with previous reports, this adds to the evidence base for the potential immune-mediated pathophysiology of TCM, highlighting inflammatory activation as causative as opposed to consequential to TCM, given its greater propensity for development of the disease in low-grade chronic inflammatory states. This identifies an understudied aspect of its aetiology, warranting further clinical and mechanistic investigation with implications for treatment and prophylaxis. Additionally, this highlights an important differential for acute myocardial infarction, in patients with underlying chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
