Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a form of transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction that usually resolves within days to weeks.
Objectives: We aimed to assess the predictors and prognostic impact of time-to-LV recovery after TTS.
Methods: Prospective serial imaging data from the nationwide, multicenter RETAKO (REgistry on TAKOtsubo Syndrome) were comprehensively reviewed to assess the timing of LV recovery.
Article Synopsis
- - Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) during the peripartum period is a significant health issue, with unclear prognosis compared to the general TTS population, prompting a study utilizing a nationwide registry.
- - Analysis showed that peripartum TTS patients commonly experience atypical symptoms like dyspnea, have different echocardiographic findings, and less ST-segment elevation than other TTS patients.
- - Despite presenting with higher Killip status upon admission, peripartum TTS patients often have good long-term prognoses, even though their conditions are mainly secondary and linked to physical stressors.
