Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 412 patients with Takotsubo syndrome who experienced cardiogenic shock, revealing that 17.2% of these patients were men.
- Men were generally older, had higher smoking rates, and showed worse heart function and longer hospital stays compared to women.
- Despite differences in health conditions during hospitalization, sex did not significantly affect short- or long-term mortality rates in these patients.

However, there is no prospective data on its use in TTS.
