Abstract
Learning Objective: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is increasingly recognized as an important cardiovascular disease, leading to myocardial ischemia, which is occasionally associated with takotsubo syndrome (TTS). In this report, we present a case of spontaneous CMD associated with TTS. This case emphasizes the significance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, highlighting the importance of recognizing CMD in patients with TTS.
