TCM was majorly seen in postmenopausal women following an emotional trigger, but a variety of other triggers were noted. T-wave inversions in TCM follow a diffuse pattern in contrast to specific leads seen in MI. Normal or subcritical stenosis in coronaries at presentation, along with a low EF which improves on follow up provide greater evidence for the diagnosis of TCM.
