BackgroundCoronary artery tortuosity (CAT) is often viewed as a benign angiographic finding; however, emerging evidence suggests its potential hemodynamic significance, particularly in non-atherosclerotic cardiomyopathies such as Takotsubo syndrome (TS). ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence and hemodynamic implications of CAT in patients diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) and to evaluate the association between the severity of tortuosity and myocardial injury mark...
