Microvascular Function and Inflammatory Activation in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Journal: ESC Heart Failure
Year: 2023

The median IMR was only slightly elevated in this study, but about one-third of the patients had values indicating microvascular dysfunction. The present study supports the involvement of several inflammatory pathways in TTS, including monocyte/macrophage activation, with sTIM-3 as a potential novel marker.
