Takotsubo syndrome due to peri-anesthesia anaphylaxis, bronchosmasm per se, albuterol, or epinephrine? Dissecting the triggers

The pathophysiology of takotsubo syndrome (TTS), is unknown, and we are striving to unravel the causes of this mysterious disease, we explore in details the physical and/or emotional triggers, which appear to precede the inception of the illness. Perusing the daily expanding literature of TTS [1] one is left with the impression that in many reported patient cases there are many plausible triggers (some apparent, and other unsuspected) which could have started either singly or in combination, the disease process.
