- Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a reversible acute cardiac syndrome triggered by emotional or physical stressors.
- TTS can occur in the context of cardiac pacing, potentially due to periprocedural stressors like anxiety, pain, and low cardiac output.
- Intraventricular mechanical factors may play a significant role in the development of TTS during cardiac pacing.
- TTS related to cardiac pacing might be underdiagnosed due to atypical symptoms and masked ECG changes.
- The review focuses on mechanistic and clinical implications of TTS in cardiac pacing, including permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) and conduction system pacing (CSP).
- Intraventricular mechanical factors are highlighted as potential triggers for TTS in this setting.
