Killip-Kimball class >1 was a strong predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (OR 2.216; 95% CI 1.673-2.936; P<0.001), alongside dyspnoea and secondary TCM.

Why the study?

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can predispose patients to significant long-term morbidity and mortality, but literature regarding long-term clinical outcomes in these patients is limited.

What clinical, biochemical, and imaging factors predict MACE and mortality in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?

Population

6443 patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy across 19 studies

Comparison

Clinical, biochemical, and imaging factors associated with MACE and mortality

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis

Key result

Killip-Kimball class >1 was a strong predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (OR 2.216; 95% CI 1.673-2.936; P<0.001), alongside dyspnoea and secondary TCM.

Overview

Dyspnea, Killip-Kimball class >1, secondary TCM, right ventricular involvement, physical stressors, and diabetes are significant predictors of long-term MACE and mortality in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Study Design

Type

Meta-Analysis (n=6,443)

Structured PICO

What clinical, biochemical, and imaging factors predict MACE and mortality in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?

P
Population
6,443 patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy across 19 studies evaluated for predictors of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality.
E
Exposure
Presence of clinical, biochemical, and imaging risk factors (including dyspnea, Killip-Kimball class >1, secondary TCM, right ventricular involvement, physical stressors, and diabetes)
C
Comparator
Absence of these risk factors
O
Outcome
Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortalitycomposite

Main Result

Odds Ratio: 2.216 (95% CI 1.673–2.936)

p-value: p=<0.001

Dyspnea, Killip-Kimball class >1, secondary TCM, right ventricular involvement, physical stressors, and diabetes are significant predictors of long-term MACE and mortality in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Cite This Study

Jirjis et al. (2025) conducted a meta-analysis in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=6,443). Risk factors (Killip-Kimball class >1, dyspnoea, secondary TCM, right ventricular involvement) vs. Absence of these risk factors was evaluated on Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (OR 2.216, 95% CI 1.673-2.936, p=<0.001). Killip-Kimball class >1 was a strong predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (OR 2.216; 95% CI 1.673-2.936; P<0.001), alongside dyspnoea and secondary TCM.
