Supports LVEF-based risk stratification in South-East Asian Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; extends limited regional data but leaves open prospective validation.
Observational (n=98)
No
South-East Asian patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy have a high incidence of physical triggers and low cardiovascular mortality, with lower LVEF predicting adverse in-hospital outcomes.
Kow et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Takotsubo (stress-induced) cardiomyopathy (n=98). Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was evaluated on In-hospital mortality due to cardiovascular causes. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in South-East Asian patients was characterized by an 82% female predominance, a 4.1% in-hospital cardiovascular mortality rate, and a 38% in-hospital complication rate.
