Incomplete Recovery From Takotsubo Syndrome Is a Major Determinant of Cardiovascular Mortality.

Background: Although there is an apparent rapid and spontaneous recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), recent studies have demonstrated a long-lasting functional impairment in those patients. The present study sought to evaluate the predictors of incomplete recovery following TTS and its impact on cardiovascular mortality.

Methods and results: Patients with TTS between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively enrolled at 3 different institutions.

Impact of residual inflammation on myocardial recovery and cardiovascular outcome in Takotsubo patients.

Aims: Recent insights have emphasized the importance of myocardial and systemic inflammation in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). In a large registry of unselected patients, we sought to evaluate whether residual high inflammatory response (RHIR) could impact cardiovascular outcome after TTS.

Methods And Results: Patients with TTS were retrospectively included between 2008 and 2018 in three general hospitals.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Is a Major Determinant of Cardiovascular Outcome in Takotsubo Syndrome.

Background: Recent insights have emphasized the importance of inflammatory response in takotsubo syndrome (TTS). We sought to evaluate the predictors of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and its impact on cardiovascular mortality after TTS.

Methods and results: The 215 TTS patients were retrospectively included between September 2008 and January 2018.
