Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: serious early complications and two-year mortality – a 101 case study

Abstract: BackgroundTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterised by transient contractility disturbances of the apex of the left ventricle.MethodsWe enrolled 101 patients from the northern-eastern part of Poland in the years 2008–2012 who were hospitalised for TCC. The control group consisted of female patients diagnosed with anterior myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (anterior STEMI) (n = 101).Results89 % of the study group were women. Patients with TTC had diabetes (12.6 % vs 29.7 %; p = 0.002) and hy… Show more

“…However, a relatively high mortality of patients with TTS in comparison with those with myocardial infarction has been reported recently. 4,5,12 CKD is the recognized cardiovascular risk factor. It also adversely affects the prognosis of severe heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as with higher in -hospital mortality.…”

“…For TTS patients with hypotension or shock, continuous monitoring of clinical parameters such as vital signs, mental status, urine output, and renal function should be done along with telemonitoring. Up to 5%-10% of patients with TTS can develop cardiogenic shock [5,27]. A variety of factors are associated with cardiogenic shock in TTS, including physical triggers, young age, and low LV ejection fraction.…”
