Core Tip	Despite several efforts to provide a proper nosological framework for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), this remains an unresolved matter in clinical practice. Several clinical, pathophysiologic and histologic findings support the conceivable hypothesis that TCM could be defined as a unique pathologic entity, rather than a distinct subset of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. These issues need to be confirmed by further investigations, in order to define TCM with the most appropriate disease taxonomy.
