Overview

RV involvement may identify higher-risk TTC; hypothesis-generating for routine assessment pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

What is the incidence and clinical significance of right ventricular involvement in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?

P
Population
34 patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) who underwent early cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (32 women). An initial 47 patients were screened, with 13 excluded due to delayed initial CMR.
O
Outcome
Incidence and clinical significance of right ventricular (RV) involvement (wall motion abnormalities) in Takotsubo cardiomyopathysurrogate

Right ventricular involvement occurs in approximately one-quarter of patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and is associated with worse left ventricular systolic function and a higher likelihood of pleural effusions.
