Overview

May refine mortality risk estimates in Takotsubo syndrome; hypothesis-generating for prospective validation before guiding care.

Structured PICO

Does baseline LVEF and LV-GLS assessment improve prognostic prediction for all-cause mortality in patients with Takotsubo syndrome?

P
Population
650 patients with Takotsubo syndrome diagnosed clinically and angiographically between 2006 and 2018, mean age 66±14 years, 88% women, with no obstructive coronary artery disease.
I
Intervention
Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) assessment
O
Outcome
All-cause mortalityhard clinical

In patients with Takotsubo syndrome, baseline LVEF and LV-GLS provide incremental prognostic value for long-term survival beyond standard clinical markers.
