Introduction: Endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation have been highlighted as possible mediators in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Nevertheless, to date, evidence on the usefulness of antiplatelet therapy in TTS remains controversial. The aim of our study is to evaluate long-term prognosis in TTS patients treated with antiplatelet therapy (APT) at hospitalization discharge.

An intra-patient randomized study with OCT, evaluating early strut coverage of a novel probucol coated polymer-free and ultra-thin strut sirolimus-eluting stent compared to a biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent.

Article Synopsis
- Incomplete strut coverage can increase the risk of stent thrombosis shortly after stent placement, prompting the investigation of a new stent type.
- A clinical trial compared a novel probucol coated ultra-thin strut sirolimus eluting stent (PF-SES) to a traditional bioresorbable polymer stent (BP-SES) in patients requiring PCI.
- Results showed that PF-SES had significantly better strut coverage at 3 months, with lower rates of uncovered struts, although there were no differences in major adverse cardiac events after 12 months.
Secondary forms of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: A whole different prognosis.
Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care

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.

The symptoms of this condition are often similar to those of myocardial infarction and, although it usually has a good prognosis, it is not without complications. Our aim was to characterize this disease in our setting using a dedicated registry (Spanish REgistry for TAKOtsubo cardiomyopathy).
