Sparse information with regard to the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is available. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and electrocardiographic changes in a Danish cohort of patients with TC. We discuss the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of TC. ⋯ In the acute phase symptoms and ECG changes resemble those in patients with STEMI, hence acute coronary angiography is indicated in most cases. Pathophysiological aspects are discussed.
