Recovery of Left Ventricular Function and Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With Takotsubo Syndrome.

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a form of transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction that usually resolves within days to weeks.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the predictors and prognostic impact of time-to-LV recovery after TTS.

Methods: Prospective serial imaging data from the nationwide, multicenter RETAKO (REgistry on TAKOtsubo Syndrome) were comprehensively reviewed to assess the timing of LV recovery.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be an important public health problem in developed countries especially in deprived socioeconomic groups, older people, immunocompromised patients, drug-therapy resistant cases and the immigrant population. The spine is the most frequent location of musculoskeletal TB. The wide range of clinical presentations results in difficulties and delays in diagnosis.
