To the Editor： read with interest the case report of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a Chinese woman.Unfortunately, the authors mistakenly attributed the original description of this syndrome to Tsuchihashi et al in 2001. Actually Dote et al first described this syndrome in 1991, ten years before Tsuchihashi et al did. Incidentally, the authors did make a reference in their case report to the article by Dote et al which was cited as reference 1.
