Key result
Takotsubo syndrome was associated with a higher long-term incidence of stroke compared to acute coronary syndrome (6.5% vs 3.2%, P=0.05) over a mean follow-up of 5 years.

Absolute Event Rate: 6.5% vs 3.2%
p-value: p=0.05
Takotsubo syndrome is associated with a higher long-term incidence of stroke compared to acute coronary syndrome, potentially linked to a higher prevalence of underlying malignancy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support closer stroke surveillance after Takotsubo; leaves open malignancy as a potential confounder.
El‐Battrawy et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Takotsubo syndrome (n=670). Takotsubo syndrome vs. Acute coronary syndrome was evaluated on Incidence of stroke over time (p=0.05). Takotsubo syndrome was associated with a higher long-term incidence of stroke compared to acute coronary syndrome (6.5% vs 3.2%, P=0.05) over a mean follow-up of 5 years.
