Abstract
The diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is currently increasing in Intensive Care Units. This is partly due to use of transthoracic echocardiography by intensive care specialists. Using this technique they can rule out other possible causes of this condition, and not just the cardiological ones, or the catecholamine release following a stressful event.
