Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and microvascular dysfunction: Another diagnostic criteria or predisposing factor?

Abstract: Objective To investigate potential associations of the PlA1/A2 polymorphism of the platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) gene with susceptibility to, and clinical expression of, giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods One hundred forty patients with biopsy‐proven GCA who were residents of Reggio Emilia, Italy, and 241 population‐based healthy controls from the same geographic area were genotyped for the PlA1/A2 polymorphism of the platelet GPIIIa gene by molecular methods. The patients were divided into subgroups ac… Show more

“…Relative estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women, resulting in some endothelial dysfunction, may be one of the key predisposing factors linking them to TC [8]. Other predisposing factors include pheochromocytoma, thyroid storm, anaphylaxis, exogenous epinephrine administration, stroke, sepsis, Addison's disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and illicit drug use and withdrawal [9–24].…”
