Overview

Sympathetic inhibition may occur rapidly after acute SIC; leaves open its causal role and any therapeutic implications pending prospective studies.

Structured PICO

Population

12 female patients with stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) (5 in acute phase 24-48 h, 7 in recovery phase 1-6 months) and 12 healthy age, gender and BMI matched controls.

Comparator

12 healthy age, gender and BMI matched controls

Outcome

Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) expressed as burst frequency (BF), burst incidence (BI) and relative median burst amplitude (RMBA %)surrogate

Sympathetic neuronal outflow to the muscle vascular bed is lower in patients with stress-induced cardiomyopathy compared to healthy controls, suggesting rapid sympathetic inhibition following the initial acute phase.

Limitations

Small number of subjects in each group
