Key result
Serial ECG assessment may help reduce mortality in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a condition where 38% of deaths are directly related to in-hospital complications.
Why the study?
Does serial ECG assessment reduce mortality and in-hospital complications in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?
Does serial ECG assessment reduce mortality and in-hospital complications in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?
Serial ECG assessment may play a crucial role in the clinical management of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy to reduce in-hospital complications and mortality.
Serial ECG assessment in TTC may aid complication risk stratification; leaves open its impact on outcomes.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a cardiac syndrome characterized by acute regional-reversible systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) and related to psycho-physical acute stress. Recently, physicians and researchers have posed their attention on the time course of ECG changes in TTC. Knowledge of ECG changes in TTC could be useful for the clinical management of this disease. Among all TTC deaths, 38% of cases are directly related to in-hospital complications. Serial ECG assessment could be a first line defence in reducing mortality and in-hospital complications in patients with TTC.
