Key result
RV impairment in Takotsubo syndrome linked to higher in-hospital complications, long-term mortality, and MACCE.
Why the study?
Is right ventricular impairment associated with worse outcomes in patients with Takotsubo syndrome?
Is right ventricular impairment associated with worse outcomes in patients with Takotsubo syndrome?
Right ventricular impairment in Takotsubo syndrome is a significant prognostic marker associated with increased in-hospital complications and long-term mortality.
May warrant RV assessment for risk stratification in Takotsubo syndrome; extends prognostic data but requires prospective validation before practice change.
Right ventricular impairment was not an uncommon finding in patients with Takotsubo syndrome and was independently associated with increased in-hospital complications, long-term mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
