Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), is defined as a fully reversible acute deterioration of left-ventricular (LV) function, which is mainly found in women after an episode of emotional or physical stress (e.g. psychosocial stress, sepsis, surgery). The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. There is evidence suggesting a possible link between neurological disease and TTC. The pathophysiology of the several neurologic diseases has been reviewed searching for possible mechanisms that could lead to TTC in these patients.
