Talk:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

message: Currently, the header includes the following texts:
It is the hallmark bulging out of the apex of the heart with preserved function of the base that earned the syndrome its name "tako tsubo", or octopus trap in Japan, where it was first described.[3] It is thus named because of the popular Japanese myth that an octopus farmer once fell in love with one of his octopi, and upon being spurned he died of a broken heart
These two explanations are mutually contradictory. Given that the first is referenced, I will flag the second with a citation needed tag.

thread_title: Star Wars; Padme Amidala death

message: I read a very brief article here on WP called Parasympathetic rebound, which sounds a whole lot like this condition. How does Parasympathetic Rebound differ from this condition? If it does not, then the articles should be merged and perhaps PR requests sent here? If they do differ, then an internal link is in order.

thread_title:  Pathophysiology 

message: I have removed all "cultural references". The only cases that should be discussed need to be directly linked to diagnosed takotsubo, otherwise we'd have a list of everyone dying from "a broken heart". JFW | T@lk 15:43, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

message: This syndrome can be presented in the following real life case.
"A person sneaked up behind me, and turned me around, shoving his fist into my chest.  I thought it was a knife, and in the blurr of the moment sought to remove it, only to find infraction tickets, part of a plot to extort some land.
The assalent drove off, leaving me to walk into my office.  A minute later a severe stress came over my chest, and I lost most all power.  I did not know what it was.  In hindsite, the adrenal rush had somewhat frozen my heart, causing me to lose power.
The accute symptoms disappeared however, I progressed to get sick, over several months.   A doctor, not knowing of this incident did an EKG of me, and suggested that I had suffered a heart attack.  I did not recall a heart attack nor at the time, connect the two incidents.
This particular syndrome does show up on an EKG as a  heart attack however that is not correct.
Hope this might help others.
:Sorry to hear about your experiences!
:Without commenting on your case specifically, one may wish to consider that persistent ECG changes cannot distinguish between a completed MI and Takotsubo. Cardiological evaluation would still be required. JFW | T@lk 10:59, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  First hand observations. 

message: thinks that the etymology should be discussed in a separate section, where I believe that the explanation is brief enough to include in the introduction. According to WP:MEDMOS an etymology section would be at the end of the article. My view is that terminology should be explained as early as possible in the article, especially where the explanation is only a single sentence. JFW | T@lk 15:48, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it should be explained as early as possible, that's why I put it in its own section at the top of the article, as chances are that a not inconsiderable amount of people would be reading this page asking WHY it's called that in the first place. Putting it at the top, in its own section for efficiency.--Satani (talk) 18:08, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd sort of worked that out, but why do you think it should not be in the introduction? JFW | T@lk 20:35, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because it gets kinda lost in the main intro, and to me seems like it'd warranted at least its own paragraph, i.e. the intro is all about the actual disease, and then tacked on seemingly as a "oh btw" is the naming description of something that has quite an unusual name, at least from a Western perspective.--Satani (talk) 20:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

text:  I'd say it should be closer to the beginning of the intro, perhaps at the end of the first paragraph when the apical ballooning has been discussed. What do you think? JFW | T@lk 08:29, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
