Background: Patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) who develop cardiogenic shock may present with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). The prognosis and treatment of this population have not been defined in previous studies. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical presentation, management, evolution and prognosis of a subgroup of patients with TTS and cardiogenic shock according to whether they present with LVOTO or not.

Methods And Results: Patients with TTS enrolled in the international multicenter GEIST (German Italian Spanish Takotsubo) registry were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of beta-blocker therapy on long-term outcomes for patients who have recovered from Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), a condition that can be triggered by stress and involves temporary heart dysfunction.
- Researchers analyzed data from 970 TTS survivors in Spain, assessing whether those treated with beta-blockers had different rates of mortality and TTS recurrence compared to those who were not treated.
- Results showed no significant differences in survival or recurrence rates between patients on beta-blockers and those not on them, suggesting that beta-blockers may not be beneficial for improving long-term outcomes in TTS patients.
Aim: Whether Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) should be classified within myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCAs) is still controversial. The aim of this work was to evaluate the main differences between TTS and non-TTS MINOCAs.
Methods And Results: A cohort study based on two prospective registries: TTS from the RETAKO registry (:1,015) and patients with non-TTS MINOCAs from contemporary records of acute myocardial infarction from five 5 national centers (:1,080).
Background And Objectives: A relationship between neoplasms and Takotsubo syndrome (TS) has been postulated. Our goal was to determine its prevalence in patients with TS, compare the clinical profile of TS with or without cancer and study its long-term evolution.
Materials And Methods: The oncological situation of patients included in the National Registry on TAKOtsubo syndrome (RETAKO), admitted between 2002 and 2019, provided by 38 hospitals throughout the country is analysed.
