Article Synopsis
- * Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a temporary heart condition often triggered by stress, but its causes and effects are not well understood, affecting around 1-2% of acute coronary syndrome cases.
- * A study analyzed hospital data from 2016 to 2020, finding significant racial and ethnic disparities in TTS outcomes; most patients were White, with minorities generally younger and from lower-income backgrounds.
- * Key findings include higher rates of stroke and mortality in Black and Asian patients, respectively, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions to address healthcare inequalities related to TTS.
Background: Although hematology and oncology research is a highly relevant and evolving field, research contributions by Latin American countries, apart from Brazil, remain unclear.
Methods: The authors performed a bibliometric analysis through a methodical search of the Latin American abstracts presented at 4 main hematology and oncology annual scientific meetings from 2000 to 2010. Latin American regional and national productivity was described through distribution and trend analyses; the subsequent percentage of full-text publications was also determined.
