Microvascular dysfunction in Takotsubo syndrome: a systematic review
MD in TTS has a variable prevalence. It is absent in a relevant proportion of the cases, making it questionable as it should be considered a pre-requisite for disease onset. The presence and extent of MD in TTS is a promising prognostic marker; no data in humans currently confirm its role as a therapeutic target.
