Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is also commonly known as apical ballooning syndrome and stress cardiomyopathy. The incidence of TTS has consistently been estimated to be close to 2% of all patients presenting with an initial diagnosis of an acute coronary syndrome, and perhaps as high as about 5% of women. TTS is a diagnosis of exclusion and in the absence of a diagnostic test, there is the need for diagnostic criteria. The Mayo Clinic diagnostic criteria are the most widely cited. The Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology published the most recent criteria in 2015.
