**3. Conclusion**

In conclusion, TTC is an acute and reversible cardiac disease, which commonly affects females of post-menopausal age and is often triggered by emotional or physical factors. Initially thought to be limited to the Asian population, it is also found in other parts of the world. This syndrome is associated with acute dysfunction of the central and autonomic nervous systems.

In order to better understand TTC, research on better diagnostic tools and therapeutic options need to be done. The recently published consensus document on TTS enhances clinical characterization of the syndrome and is hereby recommended.
