Introduction And Objectives: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a prognostic marker in out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OHCA) survivors treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH). The objectives were to analyze the correlation between dynamic changes in NSE and outcomes and to determine the measurement timing that best predicts neurological status.
Methods: Multicenter cohort study including patients admitted after shockable rhythm OHCA and treated with MTH.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to analyze the frequency, causes, and effects of cardiogenic shock (CS) in patients with takotsubo syndrome (TTS), which is linked to serious heart instability.
- - Out of 711 patients, 11.4% experienced CS, with higher mortality rates and other complications associated with factors like male gender and severe heart function issues at admission.
- - CS was identified as a major predictor of long-term mortality, emphasizing its seriousness in TTS cases; however, beta-blocker treatment improved survival rates in those with CS at discharge.

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TKS) usually mimics an acute coronary syndrome. However, several clinical forms have been reported. Our aim was to assess if different stressful triggers had prognostic influence on TKS, and to establish a working classification.
