Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known as the most common arrhythmia and an independent risk factor for mortality. Recent studies suggest that AF is associated with morbidity and mortality in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature have not been done. We assessed the association between AF in patients with TTC and mortality by a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis. METHODS We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to January 2018. Included studies were published prospective or retrospective cohort studies that compared all-cause mortality in TTC with AF versus without AF. Data from each study were combined using the random-effects, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird to calculate risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Five studies from August 2008 to October 2017 were included in this meta-analysis involving 2,321 subjects with TTC (243 with AF and 2,078 without AF). The presence of AF was associated with all-cause mortality (pooled odds ratio = 2.19, 95% confidence interval: 1.57-3.06, p < 0.001, I 2 = 0%). CONCLUSION Atrial fibrillation increased all-cause mortality by double among patients with TTC compared to without it. Our study suggests that the presence of AF in TTC is prognostic for all-cause mortality.

Clinical outcomes associated with catecholamine use in patients diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2018; 18:54. [PMID: 29554866 PMCID: PMC5859783 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-018-0784-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2017] [Accepted: 02/26/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Recent hypotheses have suggested the pathophysiological role of catecholamines in the evolution of the Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). The extent of cardiac and circulatory compromise dictates the use of some form of supportive therapy. This study was designed to investigate the clinical outcomes associated with catecholamine use in TTS patients. Methods Our institutional database constituted a collective of 114 patients diagnosed with TTS between 2003 and 2015. The study-patients were subsequently classified into two groups based on the need for catecholamine support during hospital stay (catecholamine group n = 93; 81%, non-catecholamine group = 21; 19%). The primary end-point of our study was all-cause mortality. Results Patients receiving catecholamine support showed higher grades of circulatory and cardiac compromise (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 39.6% vs. 32.7%, p-value < 0.01) and the course of disease was often complicated by the occurrence of different TTS-associated complications. The in-hospital mortality (3.2% vs. 28.5%, p < 0.01), 30-day mortality (17.2% vs. 51.4%, p < 0.01) as well as long-term mortality (38.7% vs. 80.9%, p < 0.01) was significantly higher in the group of patients receiving catecholamine support. A multivariate Cox regression analysis attributed EF ≤ 35% (HR 3.6, 95% CI 1.6–8.1; p < 0.01) and use of positive inotropic agents (HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.0–4.8; p 0.04) as independent predictors of the adverse outcome. Conclusion Rates of in-hospital events and short- as well as long-term mortality were significantly higher in TTS patients receiving catecholamine support as compared to the other study-patients. These results need further evaluation in pre-clinical and clinical trials to determine if external catecholamines contribute to an adverse clinical outcome already compromised by the initial insult.
