Correlation of Inflammatory Parameters with the Development of Cerebral Vasospasm, Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, and Functional Outcome after Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

The present work aimed to determine whether a relationship exists between inflammatory parameters and the development of vasospasm (VS) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), as well as clinical outcome, in patients suffering from spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). : In this study, the authors processed the prospectively collected laboratory and clinical data of spontaneous SAH patients admitted to the neurointensive care unit between March 2015 and October 2023. The highest values of neutrophils (NEUpeak), monocytes (MONOpeak), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLRpeak), and CRP (CRPpeak) during the initial 7 days were correlated with the occurrence of VS and TTC, and with the outcome measures at day 30 after onset.

Diagnosis and Management of Takotsubo Syndrome in Acute Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Comprehensive Review.

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a frequent complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), especially in massive SAH with severe neurological damage. The initial presentation of TS is similar to acute coronary syndrome, causing differential diagnostic issues. Unnecessary diagnostic steps and uncertainty in therapy may delay the definitive treatment of the aneurysm, therefore increasing the risk of rebleeding.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in patients suffering from acute non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage-A single center follow-up study.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an important complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), that may delay surgical or endovascular treatment and may influence patient outcome. This prospective follow-up study intended to collect data on the prevalence, severity, influencing factors and long-term outcome of TTC in patients suffering from non-traumatic SAH.

Methods: Consecutive patients admitted with the diagnosis of non-traumatic SAH were included.
