A case of incessant tachycardia diagnosed at the seventh month of pregnancy conditioning hydrops fetalis is described. Delivery was induced by caesarean section. Atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia was due to the involvement of a left lateral accessory pathway refractory to multiple antiarrhythmic drugs and was often associated with ipsilateral left bundle branch block at a slower rate.

Methods And Results: The study population includes a register-based, multicentre cohort of consecutive patients with TTS, divided into two groups according to the history of HT. Further stratification was performed for BB/RAASi prescription at discharge.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term benefits of beta-blocker treatment in patients recovering from Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) after discharge, considering the impact of catecholamines on the condition.
- Conducted across multiple centers, the research involved 825 patients diagnosed with TTS, comparing outcomes between those who were prescribed beta-blockers and those who weren't over a median follow-up period of 24 months.
- Results indicated that patients on beta-blockers had significantly lower risks of all-cause and non-cardiac death, particularly benefiting those with hypertension or cardiogenic shock during the acute phase of TTS.
Aim: To evaluate the long-term outcome of patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 35%) at presentation.
Methods And Results: The study population included 326 patients (mean age 69.5 ± 10.
