| Core Tip |
This is the first study evaluating the association between respiratory diseases and Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). Patients with severe respiratory diseases, due to the high dosages of β2-agonists used or to the need of invasive procedures, are highly exposed to the risk of developing TTC. Thus, in these patients a certain caution should maintained, along with a special alertness in suspecting and recognizing this particular disease. |
