Severely impaired left ventricular function identifies Takotsubo cardiomyopathy patients at risk for cardiogenic shock, which is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality.
Cardiogenic shock is a frequent complication in TTC patients and is associated with increased short and long-term mortality rates. Patients at risk of developing cardiogenic shock may be identified by means of a severely impaired left ventricular function.
