International Takotsubo Registry review characterizes clinical features, prognostic predictors, and outcomes of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
This review of the International Takotsubo Registry highlights that Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can be associated with potentially sinister outcomes, challenging the notion that it is a generally benign condition.
Challenges benign perception of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; leaves open prospective validation of predictors.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an acute cardiac condition characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction with wall motion abnormalities, most commonly in the form of apical ballooning. Despite being considered as a generally benign condition, many studies have emphasized potentially sinister outcomes associated with TTC. In this article, we review the most recent results of the International Takotsubo Registry, which investigated the clinical features, prognostic predictors, and outcomes of 1750 patients.

Wagdy et al. (2015) conducted a review in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=1,750). Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was evaluated. A review of 1750 patients from the International Takotsubo Registry investigated the clinical features, prognostic predictors, and outcomes of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
