Abstract

This review article delves into the intricate and evolving relationship between coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), two intriguing cardiovascular conditions increasingly recognised for their potential interplay. We examine their characteristics, shared pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies. Emerging evidence suggests a link between microvascular dysfunction and the development of TCM, leading to a deeper exploration of their connection. Accurate diagnosis of both conditions becomes essential, as microvascular dysfunction may modify TCM outcomes. We underscore the significance of understanding this connection for improved patient care, emphasising the need for tailored interventions when CMD and TCM coexist. Collaborative research and heightened clinical awareness are advocated to advance our comprehension of this relationship. Through interdisciplinary efforts, we aim to refine diagnostic precision, develop targeted therapies, and enhance patient outcomes in cardiovascular medicine.
