Int J Cardiol 2020; 316:31-39. [PMID: 32473281 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.05.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 05/05/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock occurs in 10%-15% of patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TS). For several reasons catecholamines, and especially inotropes, should be avoided in TS. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) appears attractive as bridge-to-recovery, but prospective studies are lacking. Here we analyze the available literature on MCS use in patients with TS. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed/Medline was systematically screened until December 2019. 18 studies reporting pooled data of 5629 TS patients, of whom 227 had received MCS, were considered for a qualitative synthesis. 81 articles from 2003 through 2019 reporting individual data of 93 MCS cases were included in a meta-analysis. Median age was 57 (IQR: 43-68) years, 83.9% were women, and a physical trigger could be identified in 74.1% of cases. Median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before MCS was 20% (IQR: 15-25) and comparable between groups defined by MCS device. An apical TS type was present in 76.1% of cases. The overall number of publications on MCS for TS increased over time, as did those using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and Impella, while those using intra-aortic balloon pump declined. MCS-related complications were not regularly reported. Median time on MCS was 3 (IQR: 2-7) days, with an overall survival of 94.6%. CONCLUSIONS MCS for TS-related shock is increasingly reported, with a growing use of V-A ECMO and Impella. Currently available clinical data support this approach. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate safety and efficacy of different devices as well as timing of MCS in this special patient population.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) continues to be a substantial cause of illness and death, with in-hospital and 3-month mortality rates of 5% and 10%, respectively, and 6-month re-admission rates in excess of 50% in a range of clinical trials and registry studies; the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Heart Failure Long-Term Registry recorded a 1-year death or rehospitalization rate of 36%. As regards the short-term treatment of AHF patients, evidence was collected in the ESC Heart Failure Long-Term Registry that intravenous (i.v.) treatments are administered heterogeneously in the critical phase, with limited reference to guideline recommendations. Moreover, recent decades have been characterized by a prolonged lack of successful innovation in this field, with a plethora of clinical trials generating neutral or inconclusive findings on long-term mortality effects from a multiplicity of short-term interventions in AHF. One of the few exceptions has been the calcium sensitizer and inodilator levosimendan, introduced 20 years ago for the treatment of acutely decompensated chronic heart failure. In the present review, we will focus on the utility of this agent in the wider context of i.v. inotropic and inodilating therapies for AHF and related pathologies.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose of Review
To provide an update on the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Recent Findings
Long-term prognosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may not be as clear-cut as previously thought. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging not only allows differentiation between reversible and nonreversible changes but has an emerging role in identifying cellular level changes associated with prognostic indicators such as myocardial energetics using 31P-CMR spectroscopy and detection of myocardial inflammation overlying myocardial oedema, using ultrasmall paramagnetic iron oxide particle uptake in macrophages.
Summary
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a non-ischemic acute heart failure syndrome. It is commonly triggered by emotional or physical stress and is possibly the strongest psychosomatic interaction seen in medicine. While clinically its presentation mimics a myocardial infarction, the acute imaging characteristics are critical in correctly identifying the disease entity.

Abstract
Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient regional systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle, mimicking myocardial infarction. Although systolic left ventricular (LV) function normalizes in most cases, the outcome is not always favourable. Recently, a rare electrocardiogram (ECG) finding, lambda wave ST elevation or 'triangular QRS-ST-T waveform', was suggested as a possible marker of poor outcome in Takotsubo patients. Case summary After a brief episode of chest pain and shortness of breath, a 67-year-old woman developed cardiogenic shock. Her resting ECG showed widespread ST elevations, which soon evolved into a pattern of triangular QRS-ST-T waveforms in the inferior leads and V3-V6. Emergent coronary angiography was normal. The ejection fraction was 20% with apical ballooning and an LV thrombus. At 1-month follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and the ECG showed only T-wave inversions. Discussion The triangular QRS-ST-T waveform ECG pattern has recently been introduced as a high-risk marker in the Takotsubo syndrome.

Abstract
Background The prognosis of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is comparable to that of the non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The GRACE scale is used to assess the risk of premature and long-term mortality in patients with NSTEMI in order to select the most favorable treatment strategy. Methods 101 patients with TTS hospitalized in four centers of invasive cardiology in Podlaskie Voivodeship during the period 2008–2012 were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: I—52 patients (GRACE ≤ 140 points) and II—49 patients (GRACE > 140 points). Results The mean GRACE score in the study group was 138.66. The in-hospital stay of Takotsubo in the patients with higher GRACE scores was associated with higher incidence of pneumonia (36.7% vs 7.69%, p=0.0004), rhythm abnormalities (17.3% vs 3.85%, p=0.026), and serious complications (cardiogenic shock, pulmonary edema, and sudden cardiac arrest) (30.6% vs 5.77%, p=0.001). The mean observation period was 7.2 years. A significantly higher risk of 6-month (18.37% vs 3.85%, p=0.019), 1-year (22.45 vs 3.85%, p=0.005), 3-year (40.82 vs 3.85%, p < 0.0001), 5-year (42.86% vs 3.85%, p < 0.0001), and 7-year mortalities (53.06% vs 9.62%, p < 0.0001) was observed in the group of patients with a GRACE score ≥140. At multivariate analysis including low BMI, low eGFR, and a higher GRACE score, all these factors were independent predictor of death (p=0.042; p=0.010; p=0.041). The ROC curve presents the discriminatory scores of the GRACE scale for the follow-up prognostication. The area under ROC curve (AUC) for the GRACE scale was 0.805 (95% CI: 0.718–0.892, p < 0.0001), with a cut-off value of 153 points, sensitivity of 74%, and specificity of 77% for TTS. Conclusion The GRACE scale is highly valuable for the prognostication of death risk in patients with TTS in the early and long-term observation.

Abstract
Stress (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy (SC) is becoming an increasingly recognized syndrome, previously underdiagnosed due to its similar presentation to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). With advancements in imaging and diagnostic tools, our ability to recognize, diagnose and subsequently manage SC has advanced as well. Multiple diagnostic criteria have been created for the diagnosis of SC. While the diagnosis of SC does not always require imaging, advanced imaging can aid in the diagnosis of SC in unclear cases. However, due to the severity of ACS and the consequences of missing that diagnosis, SC is still typically a diagnosis of exclusion once ACS has been ruled out on cardiac catheterization. Our understanding of the pathogenesis of SC is still evolving. While catecholamine surges are widely believed to be the precipitating cause of SC, the exact mechanism for how catecholamine surges lead to ventricular dysfunction is still being debated. Understanding the mechanism behind ventricular dysfunction in SC can potentially provide the basis for treatment. Different stressors may lead to different variants of cardiomyopathy, with different portions of the ventricles affected. Treatment of SC is largely supportive and therefore should be tailored to the patient's individual needs based on the severity of presentation. Both the underlying stressor and the variant of SC affect time to recovery and mortality. Many patient factors can impact prognosis as well. Even after initial hospital discharge for SC, long-term risks do exist, including the risk for recurrent SC. Only angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have been shown to reduce the recurrence of SC.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome is a rare but emerging form of acute reversible myocardial injury characterized by transient systolic LV dysfunction, often related to emotional or physical stress. Pheochromocytoma is increasingly recognised as another possible trigger. Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumour arising from chromaffin cells within the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia. The pathognomonic quartet of paroxysmal hypertension, palpitations, headache, and diaphoresis is rarely present, and diagnosis is often delayed. We describe a 43-year-old formerly healthy patient with an adrenal pheochromocytoma, presenting as an "inverted" takotsubo syndrome complicated with acute heart failure and pulmonary oedema.

Abstract
We herein report a case of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) in which the QT interval was prolonged by Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), inducing ventricular fibrillation (VF). The patient was a 55-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with LQTS. Cardiopulmonary arrest occurred while coughing during sleep. VF was observed, and her heartbeat returned after two defibrillations. An electrocardiogram showed marked QT prolongation and large negative T waves. Echocardiography demonstrated hyperkinesis at the base of the left ventricle and akinesis at the apex. As there was no significant stenosis in the coronary artery, she was diagnosed with TTS.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy of Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is typically triggered by an emotional stress in postmenopausal women. Coexistent coronary artery disease presents diagnostic dilemmas in patients with TS, as seen in the 2 cases presented. In the first case, acute coronary syndrome acts as a physical trigger for TS when a middle-aged man presents with an inferior myocardial infarct, and in the second case, coronary artery disease is a bystander when an elderly woman develops TS after a fall and facial trauma. The novel teaching point is that acute non–left anterior descending acute coronary syndrome could trigger TS.

Abstract
Historical data indicate that approximately 10% of acute coronary syndrome patients have no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) but contemporary incidence of non-obstructed coronary arteries in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not clear. We aimed both to identify the contemporary incidence of MI without obstructive CAD (MINOCA)-using the ESC definition-and assess clinical outcomes. We assessed consecutive unselected STEMI patients presenting to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory with a view to undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). MINOCA was defined according to ESC criteria. Electronic patient records, blood results, angiographic and echocardiographic data were interrogated to determine final diagnosis, as well as 30-day and 1-year mortality rate. Of 2521 patients with full electronic dataset, 2158 (85.6%) underwent PPCI for obstructive CAD (angiographic stenosis > 70%). A further 167 (6.6%) with obstructive CAD were treated medically or surgically. The remaining 196 (7.8%) patients had absence of obstructive CAD at angiography, of whom 167 had no stenosis (< 30%) and 29 had mild coronary atheroma (stenosis > 30% but < 50%). A total of 110 (4.4%) patients met diagnostic criteria for MINOCA. All-cause mortality at 30-days and 1-year were 3.6% and 4.5%, respectively. In our cohort, 1 in 20 patients presenting with STEMI had MINOCA. This is the first description of the relatively high incidence of MINOCA in a STEMI cohort using current ESC definition and diagnostic criteria and could help power future trials in this area. Mortality rate was relatively high in our study and similar to that in large meta-analyses.

Abstract
Aims Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is characterized by transient ventricular impairment, often preceded by emotional or physical stress. Racial differences affect the outcomes of several cardiovascular conditions; however, the effect of race on TC remains unknown. This investigation aims to assess the effect of race on in‐hospital outcomes of TC in a large national sample. Methods and results We conducted a US‐wide analysis of TC hospitalizations from 2006 to 2014 by querying the National Inpatient Sample database for the International Classification of Diseases‐ninth Revision TC code, characteristics, and inpatient outcomes. Patients with a primary diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome were excluded to reduce selection bias. Caucasians were compared with African Americans (AA) for differences in baseline characteristics and in‐hospital outcomes. Multivariate regression models were created to adjust for potential confounders. Of 97 650 TC patients, 83 807 (86.9%) were women, 89 624 (91.8%) identified as Caucasians, and 8026 (8.2%) as AA. The annual number of TC hospitalizations increased significantly from 2006 to 2014 in both races (from 335 to 21 265 annual cases, P < 0.001). In‐hospital mortality initially increased (1–2% in 2006 to 5–6% in 2009, P < 0.001) and subsequently remained relatively stable around 5–7% with no significant difference between races. In unadjusted analysis, AA had more cardiac arrests [304 (3.8%) vs. 2569 (2.9%), P = 0.04], invasive mechanical ventilation [1671 (20.8%) vs. 15 897 (17.7%), P = 0.002], tracheostomies [242 (3%) vs. 1600 (1.8%), P = 0.001], acute kidney injuries [1765 (22%) vs. 14 608 (16.3%), P < 0.0001], and longer hospital stays [4.5 (3.2–4.8) vs. 3.8 (3.7–3.9) days, P < 0.0001] compared with Caucasians. After the adjustment for differences in age, gender, comorbidities (using the enhanced Charlson comorbidity index), hospital location/teaching status, and socio‐economic factors, all differences were significantly attenuated or eliminated. Additionally, the adjusted risk was lower in AA compared with Caucasians, for cardiogenic shock [odds ratio (OR) 0.61 (0.47–0.78), P < 0.0001], mechanical ventilation [OR 0.8 (0.70–0.92), P = 0.002] and intraaortic balloon pump insertion [OR 0.63 (0.41–0.99), P = 0.04]. Conclusions Our investigation is the first large US‐wide analysis studying racial variations in TC outcomes. AA overall have more in‐hospital complications; however, the differences are driven by racial disparities in demographics, comorbidities, and socio‐economic factors.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome has been traditionally considered a reversible form of acute heart failure triggered by an emotional or physical stressor, mainly occurring in women of post-menopausal age and often mimicking an acute coronary syndrome. While its pathophysiology is still incompletely understood, sympathetic overstimulation is known to play a central role in the disease. The classical hallmark of the condition was the presence of wall motion abnormalities limited to the apical segments of the ventricle, leading to the so-called apical ballooning, but different patterns of wall motion abnormalities are nowadays recognised. Different definitions and diagnostic criteria for takotsubo syndrome were proposed during the last decades, reflecting the heterogeneity of the condition and the gaps in the thorough understanding of the disease. While initially it was believed to be a benign entity, takotsubo syndrome has in fact similar morbidity and mortality with acute coronary syndromes, both on short- and long-term, highlighting the importance of proper risk stratification. Many questions still remain unanswered concerning the pathophysiology of the syndrome and the optimal therapeutic strategy for these patients.

Abstract
Background Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a reversible cardiomyopathy. Little is known regarding its basal form and possible complications. Case summary A 31-year-old woman with no medical history was hospitalized for attempted suicide by ingestion of cocaine, benzodiazepine, and methadone. Initially, the patient received intensive care for coma and bradypnoea. After naloxone administration, the neurological situation improved, but the patient developed acute pulmonary oedema. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed left ventricular systolic dysfunction with the basal wall’s akinesia associated with moderate to severe restrictive mitral regurgitation. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was impaired mainly in the basal segments. A coronary computed tomography ruled out coronary artery disease. Symptoms improved quickly under diuretic treatment. Transthoracic echocardiography at Day 6 showed improved basal wall contraction, with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% and moderate mitral regurgitation. TTE at Day 30 confirmed the diagnosis of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries related to a basal TTS after complete recovery of the LVEF, normalization of the wall motion and GLS, and the absence of residual mitral regurgitation. Discussion We report a case of acute pulmonary oedema due to basal TTS complicated by severe transient mitral regurgitation associated with moderate left ventricular dysfunction. Measuring strain by speckle-tracking can be useful to diagnose and monitor this entity. The use of coronary computed tomography is informative in young patients to rule-out coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome is increasingly recognised worldwide. As both, takotsubo syndrome and acute myocardial infarction can present with similar findings, including chest pain, elevated troponin and creatine kinase, it is often difficult to differentiate these conditions. Here, we present a challenging case that illustrates (1) difficulties to diagnose takotsubo syndrome in the presence of a significant coronary artery stenosis; (2) how takotsubo syndrome could be misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome if diagnostic workup does not include echocardiography or left ventriculography; (3) the importance of cardiac MRI which can contribute to the diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome.

Abstract
Chemotherapy treatment of malignancy accounts for 1–2% of takotsubo syndrome (TS) triggers. Women comprise 60–70% of patients with chemotherapy-associated TS, a distinctly lower prevalence than the 90% female prevalence in TS overall. Fluorouracil is the most commonly reported TS-triggering chemotherapeutic agent, although this must be interpreted in the context of the frequency of worldwide use of this agent. The onset of TS relative to chemotherapy initiation is quite variable, ranging from the initial administration to subsequent chemotherapy cycles several weeks beyond initiation. Limited information suggests chemotherapy can be safely reinitiated once the patient has recovered from the initial TS event. Having a TS event in the setting of chemotherapy treatment for malignancy is associated with substantial mortality.

Abstract
Background A brain–heart interaction has been proposed in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Structural changes in the limbic system and hypoconnectivity between certain brain areas in the chronic phase of the disease have been reported, but little is known concerning functional neuroimaging in the acute phase. We hypothesized anatomical and functional changes in the central nervous system and investigated whole-brain volumetric and functional connectivity alterations in the acute phase TTS patients compared to controls. Methods Anatomical and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging were performed in postmenopausal females: thirteen in the acute TTS phase and thirteen healthy controls without evidence of coronary artery disease. Voxel-based morphometry and graph theoretical analysis were applied to identify anatomical and functional differences between patients and controls. Results Significantly lower gray matter volumes were found in TTS patients in the right middle frontal gyrus (p = 0.004) and right subcallosal cortex (p = 0.009) compared to healthy controls. When lower threshold was applied, volumetric changes were noted in the right insular cortex (p = 0.0113), the right paracingulate cortex (p = 0.012), left amygdala (p = 0.018), left central opercular cortex (p = 0.017), right (p = 0.013) and left thalamus (p = 0.017), and left cerebral cortex (p = 0.017). Graph analysis revealed significantly (p < 0.01) lower functional connectivity in TTS patients compared to healthy controls, particularly in the connections originating from the right insular cortex, temporal lobes, and precuneus. Conclusion In the acute phase of TTS volumetric changes in frontal regions and the central autonomic network (i.e. insula, anterior cingulate cortex, and amygdala) were noted. In particular, the right insula, associated with sympathetic autonomic tone, had both volumetric and functional changes. Graphic abstract ![]()

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) can be considered a transient form of acute heart failure that mimics an acute coronary syndrome. Although many hypotheses have been formulated, the precise physiopathology of TTS remains unknown. TTS is associated with a heterogeneous clinical course, which ranges from benign to poor outcome, comprising life-threatening phenotypes. In the acute phase, TTS patients may experience complications including left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmias and thromboembolic events. Furthermore, after the acute episode, physiological abnormalities can persist and some patients continue to suffer cardiac symptoms. To recognise patients at higher risk earlier, many variables have been proposed and risk stratifications suggested. There is no solid evidence regarding specific therapy and the proper management of TTS patients, either in the acute phase or long term. This review describes the current knowledge regarding diagnostic criteria, prognosis and therapy in TTS.

Abstract
Background Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute cardiac disease entity with a clinical presentation resembling that of an acute coronary syndrome. Numerous physical stress factors including pheochromocytoma, epinephrine, and norepinephrine administration, and even physiological exercise have been reported to induce TS. Takotsubo syndrome induced by medications causing elevation of plasma norepinephrine as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor or selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (atomoxetine) has been reported. Case summary We report on the case of a 49-year-old woman who was on atomoxetine treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, developed TS in association with sexual intercourse. Discussion The TS pattern in this patient was the type of mid-apical ballooning with apical tip-sparing at presentation. Two days later, TS evolved to mid-ventricular pattern. Takotsubo syndrome resolved completely 1 month after the index presentation.

Abstract
The treatment of cardiogenic shock in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is challenging because it depends on the mechanisms leading to the haemodynamic instability. We report the case of a 70‐year‐old woman admitted for TTS complicated by cardiogenic shock. The early echocardiographic identification of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and severe mitral regurgitation (MR) prompted us to implant an Impella CP assist device as a bridge‐to‐recovery therapy. After device positioning, the haemodynamic status improved and LVOTO and severe MR disappeared. Because of the persistence of severe hypotension, the mechanical circulatory support was continued in intensive care unit and stopped only 5 days later, when intraventricular gradient spontaneously dropped. The patient was discharged after 1 week in stable conditions. Our case suggests that Impella circulating support may be a useful bridge‐to‐recovery therapeutic option in selected patients with cardiogenic shock due to TTS complicated by LVOTO and severe MR.

Zalewska-Adamiec M, Malyszko J, Bachórzewska-Gajewska H, Tomaszuk-Kazberuk A, Dobrzycki SJ. Takotsubo syndrome - fatal prognosis of patients with low body mass index in 5-year follow-up. Arch Med Sci 2020; 16:282-288. [PMID: 32190137 PMCID: PMC7069448 DOI: 10.5114/aoms.2019.87082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2019] [Accepted: 06/02/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The clinical courses of takotsubo syndrome (TS) and of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) seem to be very similar. However, there is limited knowledge about risk factors of poor outcomes. Low body mass index worsens the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases, especially those undergoing surgical treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the body mass index (BMI) on the prognosis in patients diagnosed with TS. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty patients aged 15-89 (mean: 67.9 years), 74 women and 6 men with TS diagnosis according to Mayo Clinic diagnostic criteria were divided into 3 groups: low body mass (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal body mass (18.5 ≥ BMI < 25 kg/m2) and excessive body mass (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). RESULTS Patients with low BMI were older, but with less prevalent risk factors such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and positive family history of coronary artery disease and more frequent risk factors such as cigarette smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), depressive and anxiety disorders as well as malignancy. They also had higher haemoglobin, lower troponin, creatine kinase, C-reactive protein and lipid fractions. The highest annual, 3-year and 5-year mortality was observed in the group with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2. None of the patients with low BMI survived the 5-year follow-up period (100% vs. 25% vs. 15.2%; p < 0.0001). In group III, mortality among overweight patients (25 ≥ BMI < 30 kg/m2) was 8.3%, and in obese people (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) 1 out 5 patients died during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The majority of typical cardiovascular risk factors are less frequently observed in patients with TS and low body mass. Early prognosis for TS patients and low BMI is relatively favourable, whereas the 5-year follow-up is associated with extremely high mortality. Overweight patients have the best prognosis in the long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Objective:
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by acute left ventricular dysfunction, which can contribute to intraventricular thrombus and embolism. Still, prevalence and clinical impact of thrombus formation and embolic events on outcome of TTS patients remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate clinical features and outcomes of patients with and without intraventricular thrombus or embolism. Additionally, factors associated with thrombus formation or embolism, as well as predictors for mortality, were identified.
Approach and Results:
TTS patients enrolled in the International Takotsubo Registry at 28 centers in Australia, Europe, and the United States were dichotomized according to the occurrence/absence of intraventricular thrombus or embolism. Patients with intraventricular thrombus or embolism were defined as the ThrombEmb group. Of 1676 TTS patients, 56 (3.3%) patients developed intraventricular thrombus and/or embolism following TTS diagnosis (median time interval, 2.0 days [range, 0–38 days]). Patients in the ThrombEmb group had a different clinical profile including lower left ventricular ejection fraction, higher prevalence of the apical type, elevated levels of troponin and inflammatory markers, and higher prevalence of vascular disease. In a Firth bias-reduced penalized-likelihood logistic regression model apical type, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤30%, previous vascular disease, and a white blood cell count on admission >10×10
3
cells/μL emerged as independent predictors for thrombus formation or embolism.
Conclusions:
Intraventricular thrombus or embolism occur in 3.3% of patients in the acute phase of TTS. A simple risk score including clinical parameters associated with intraventricular thrombus formation or embolism identifies patients at increased risk.

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries: A comprehensive review and future research directions. World J Cardiol 2019; 11:305-315. [PMID: 31908730 PMCID: PMC6937414 DOI: 10.4330/wjc.v11.i12.305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2019] [Revised: 09/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/29/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute coronary syndromes constitute a variety of myocardial injury presentations that include a subset of patients presenting with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). This acute coronary syndrome differs from type 1 myocardial infarction (MI) regarding patient characteristics, presentation, physiopathology, management, treatment, and prognosis. Two-thirds of MINOCA subjects present ST-segment elevation; MINOCA patients are younger, are more often female and tend to have fewer cardiovascular risk factors. Moreover, MINOCA is a working diagnosis, and defining the aetiologic mechanism is relevant because it affects patient care and prognosis. In the absence of relevant coronary artery disease, myocardial ischaemia might be triggered by an acute event in epicardial coronary arteries, coronary microcirculation, or both. Epicardial causes of MINOCA include coronary plaque disruption, coronary dissection, and coronary spasm. Microvascular MINOCA mechanisms involve microvascular coronary spasm, takotsubo syndrome (TTS), myocarditis, and coronary thromboembolism. Coronary angiography with non-significant coronary stenosis and left ventriculography are first-line tests in the differential study of MINOCA patients. The diagnostic arsenal includes invasive and non-invasive techniques. Medical history and echocardiography can help indicate vasospasm or thrombosis, if one finite coronary territory is affected, or specify TTS if apical ballooning is present. Intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and provocative testing are encouraged. Cardiac magnetic resonance is a cornerstone in myocarditis diagnosis. MINOCA is not a benign diagnosis, and its polymorphic forms differ in prognosis. MINOCA care varies across centres, and future multi-centre clinical trials with standardized criteria may have a positive impact on defining optimal cardiovascular care for MINOCA patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim is to evaluate the feasibility of using mechanical circulatory support, specifically the Impella device, in spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) patients with cardiogenic shock. BACKGROUND The therapeutic options for managing SCAD complicated by cardiogenic shock are limited. Risky revascularization procedures are often necessary. METHODS This was a multicenter case series in the United States. Approximately 20 cases of Impella implantation in patients with SCAD are known. The implanting physician for each of these cases was contacted and de-identified records were requested. The records were analyzed for Impella indications, outcomes, and complications. RESULTS Records from four cases were received. All patients survived to hospital discharge and no major complications were observed. In two cases, cardiogenic shock developed in the absence of ongoing ischemia, suggesting a Takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy. In these cases, the Impella provided hemodynamic support until the patient's cardiac function recovered. CONCLUSION Although a small case series, given the scarcity of SCAD cases complicated by cardiogenic shock and the limited therapies available to treat these patients, these data are of clinical value in highlighting the feasibility of Impella use in SCAD. The Impella can be valuable for procedural support and in cardiogenic shock, especially in cases without evidence of ongoing ischemia.

Takotsubo syndrome: How the broken heart deals with negative emotions. NEUROIMAGE-CLINICAL 2019; 25:102124. [PMID: 31884222 PMCID: PMC6938811 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2019.102124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 12/05/2019] [Accepted: 12/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Takotsubo patients show lower bilateral superior parietal activity during the processing of negative expected pictures compared to healthy control subjects. Takotsubo patients show lower decoding of negative versus neutral pictures in a widespread network consisting of frontal, parietal, occipital, and cerebellar brain regions. The lower involvement of brain regions observed in Takotsubo patients suggests an impairment in emotional regulation, which might be of etiological importance in this brain-heart disease.
Objectives Patients suffering from Takotsubo syndrome have a higher prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders compared to those with acute myocardial infarction and might thus show impaired regulation and processing of emotions. Methods In this cross-sectional study, neural activity during an emotional picture processing task was examined in 26 Takotsubo patients (on average 27 months after the Takotsubo event) and 22 healthy age- and gender-matched control subjects undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. Imaging data were analyzed with two complementary approaches: First, univariate analysis was used to detect brain regions showing condition-specific differences in mean neural activity between groups. Second, multivariate pattern analysis was applied to decode the experimental conditions from individual activity patterns. Results In the univariate analysis approach, patients showed lower bilateral superior parietal activity during the processing of negative expected pictures compared to the control subjects. The multivariate pattern analysis revealed group differences in decoding negative versus neutral pictures from a widespread network consisting of frontal, parietal, occipital, and cerebellar brain regions. Additionally, differences in decoding the expectation of a negative versus positive upcoming picture were observed in the visual cortex. Conclusion The lower involvement of brain regions observed in Takotsubo patients suggests an impairment in emotion regulation, which might be of etiological importance in this brain-heart disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a transient heart disease that has been historically related to the occurrence of psychological (emotional) factors ("broken heart" syndrome). We aimed to conduct a systematic review analyzing the role of psychological factors in TTS. METHODS All studies on TTS and psychological factors from January 1991 through April 2019 were scrutinized according to the Cochrane Collaboration and the PRISMA statements. Selected studies were additionally evaluated for the Risk of Bias according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RESULTS Fifteen case-control studies (by Mayo Clinic criteria) were finally selected. Most studies analyzed stressful life-events or trauma, although with conflicting findings, while a likely role of long-lasting psychological distress seemed to be a homogenous result. Among life-time psychopathology, only anxiety appeared to have a significant role. Some studies outlined a likely role of personality, but findings are conflicting. CONCLUSION Our findings do not lead to any definitive assumption on the specific role of psychological factors in TTS, also for scant strong methodology of the most part of the studies. More studies with stronger research methodology are needed to better characterize psychological elements in TTS.

Abstract
Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) usually manifests as transient apical ballooning of the left ventricle and may mimic acute coronary syndrome. Concomitant right ventricle involvement may occur in about a third of the cases. Recurrence had been observed in up to 10% of TC with variable ventricular involvement. Despite this knowledge, there had been no report of a patient with multiple biventricular TC in the literature to date. In this study, we describe a rare case of a patient who presented twice with biventricular TC. Case summary A 52-year-old man with a previous episode of biventricular TC 5 months ago presented to our hospital with a 1 day history of shortness of breath and wheeze. He was treated initially for infective exacerbation of chronic obstructive airway disease. He was eventually intubated following a trial of non-invasive ventilation. He became hypotensive post-intubation and required intensive care support. An inpatient echocardiogram revealed biventricular apical ballooning. Invasive coronary angiogram showed no coronary artery disease. A repeat echocardiogram 14 days post-admission demonstrated full recovery of both ventricles. These findings were consistent with a second biventricular TC. Two months later, he was found deceased in the community seemingly from an unrelated cause. Discussion This case describes a middle-aged gentleman who suffered recurrent biventricular TC with no consistent triggers and an unrelated fatal sequel. None of these features were typical, and to our best knowledge had not been reported before. We hypothesize that his recurrent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations and various substance misuse might have predisposed him to this unusual presentation.

Crit Care 2019; 23:385.

Abstract
Despite interesting and unique pharmacological properties, levosimendan has not proven a clear superiority to placebo in the patient populations that have been enrolled in the various recent multicenter randomized controlled trials. However, the pharmacodynamic effects of levosimendan are still considered potentially very useful in a number of specific situations.Patients with decompensated heart failure requiring inotropic support and receiving beta-blockers represent the most widely accepted indication. Repeated infusions of levosimendan are increasingly used to facilitate weaning from dobutamine and avoid prolonged hospitalizations in patients with end-stage heart failure, awaiting heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation. New trials are under way to confirm or refute the potential usefulness of levosimendan to facilitate weaning from veno-arterial ECMO, to treat cardiogenic shock due to left or right ventricular failure because the current evidence is mostly retrospective and requires confirmation with better-designed studies. Takotsubo syndrome may represent an ideal target for this non-adrenergic inotrope, but this statement also relies on expert opinion. There is no benefit from levosimendan in patients with septic shock. The two large trials evaluating the prophylactic administration of levosimendan (pharmacological preconditioning) in cardiac surgical patients with poor left ventricular ejection fraction could not show a significant reduction in their composite endpoints reflecting low cardiac output syndrome with respect to placebo. However, the subgroup of those who underwent isolated CABG appeared to have a reduction in mortality. A new study will be required to confirm this exploratory finding.Levosimendan remains a potentially useful inodilator agent in a number of specific situations due to its unique pharmacological properties. More studies are needed to provide a higher level of proof regarding these indications.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported that takotsubo syndrome (TTS) patients are suffering from life-threatening arrhythmias. The aim of our study was to understand the short and long-term usefulness of cardiac implantable electronic devices in TTS patients.We constituted a collective of 142 patients in a bi-centric study diagnosed with TTS between 2003 and 2017. The patient groups, divided according to the treatment with (n = 9, 6.3%) or without cardiac devices (n = 133, 93.7%), were followed-up to determine the importance of devices and its complications. One patient was treated with a permanent pacemaker, five patients with a wearable cardioverter defibrillator, two patients with a subcutaneous defibrillator and one patient with a transvenous defibrillator. Regular device check-up was documented in all patients, presenting an ongoing high-degree AV-block. Neither device complications nor life-threatening tachyarrhythmias were documented after acute TTS event. However, patients comprising the device group suffered significantly more often from a highly reduced EF (30 ± 7.7% versus 39.1 ± 9.7%; p < 0.05), cardiogenic shock with use of inotropic agents (66.6% versus 16.6%; p < 0.05) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (44.4% versus 5.3%; p < 0.05). Our data confirm the usefulness of pacemaker in TTS patients. However, the cardioverter defibrillator including wearable cardioverter defibrillator may not be recommended.

Abstract
Background Left ventricular (LV) recovery in takotsubo syndrome (TTS) occurs over a wide‐ranging interval, varying from hours to weeks. We sought to investigate the clinical predictors and prognostic impact of recovery time for TTS patients. Methods and Results TTS patients from the International Takotsubo Registry were included in this study. Cut‐off for early LV recovery was determined to be 10 days after the acute event. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with the absence of early recovery. In‐hospital outcomes and 1‐year mortality were compared for patients with versus without early recovery. We analyzed 406 patients with comprehensive and serial imaging data regarding time to recovery. Of these, 191 (47.0%) had early LV recovery and 215 (53.0%) demonstrated late LV improvement. Patients without early recovery were more often male (12.6% versus 5.2%; P=0.011) and presented more frequently with typical TTS (76.3% versus 67.0%, P=0.040). Cardiac and inflammatory markers were higher in patients without early recovery than in those with early recovery. Patients without early recovery showed unfavorable 1‐year outcome compared with patients with early recovery (P=0.003). On multiple logistic regression, male sex, LV ejection fraction <45%, and acute neurologic disorders were associated with the absence of early recovery. Conclusions TTS patients without early LV recovery have different clinical characteristics and less favorable 1‐year outcome compared with patients with early recovery. The factors associated with the absence of early recovery included male sex, reduced LV ejection fraction, and acute neurologic events. Clinical Trial Registration URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a recently identified cardiac disease, which is far from being completely known. The aims of this narrative review are to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiological features of TTS and to update clinical findings in order to improve the management of subjects affected by this syndrome (according to the most recent consensus papers issued by the international scientific societies). We based our search on the material obtained via PubMed up to April 2019. The terms used were "Takotsubo Syndrome and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy" in combination with "heart failure, pathophysiology, complications, diagnosis, and treatment." TTS is a reversible form of ventricular dysfunction usually characterized by akinesia of the apex in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. In its initial phase, TTS may be indistinguishable from AMI and is usually triggered by a sudden emotional/physical stressor which abruptly increases catecholamine levels. However, the mechanisms by which catecholamines or other unidentified molecules can cause myocardial dysfunction is unknown. In-hospital stay may be hampered by various life-threatening complications, while data on long-term survival remain scarce and unclear. Furthermore, TTS may sometimes recur. We believe that TTS is clearly a much more complex condition than previously thought. Much remains to be discovered about its pathophysiologic mechanisms, the role of the link between the heart and brain and that of triggering factors and gender, and the reasons why this syndrome displays different phenotypes and sometimes recurs. Undoubtedly, preliminary evidence from pathophysiological studies (mainly genetic studies) has shown promising advances. However, prospective randomized clinical trials are still needed in order to identify and to tailor the best medical treatments for TTS patients.

Role of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathies. Arch Cardiovasc Dis 2019; 112:615-629. [PMID: 31607558 DOI: 10.1016/j.acvd.2019.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 07/29/2019] [Accepted: 07/30/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Multimodality imaging plays an important role in the initial evaluation, diagnosis and management of patients suspected of having a cardiomyopathy. Beyond functional and anatomical information, multimodality imaging provides important variables that facilitate risk stratification and prognosis evaluation. Whatever the underlying suspected cardiomyopathy, echocardiography is the most common initial imaging test used to establish the presence of cardiomyopathy, by depicting structural and functional abnormalities. However, echocardiographic findings are non-specific, and therefore have a limited role in identifying the underlying aetiology. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging allows characterization of myocardial tissue, which can be of great help in identifying the aetiology of the cardiomyopathy. When a specific aetiology is suspected, particularly inflammation, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography is recommended. The clinician should be capable of selecting the appropriate imaging techniques for each clinical scenario. Each technique has strengths and weaknesses, which should be known. In order to improve diagnostic performance, and as proposed by the European Association for Cardiovascular Imaging, cardiovascular imaging groups must be composed of experts from all modalities. The future of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis and management of cardiomyopathies will also involve evolution of its use in care, teaching and research. Training goals for future cardiac imaging experts must be defined; academic and industry partnerships should enable the connection to be made between imaging data and clinical data on the one hand and outcomes on the other hand, using big-data analysis and artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Background: The relationship between outcome and trigger in takotsubo syndrome (TTS) has been recently discussed, but the data are still limited. Methods and Results: We enrolled 745 consecutive patients with TTS from the Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network registry. The patients were divided into 4 groups based on trigger: (1) medical illness, 202 (27%); (2) physical activity, trauma and injury, 54 (7%); (3) emotional trigger, 199 (27%); and (4) unidentifiable trigger, 290 (39%). Compared with other groups, the medical illness group had the lowest percentage of female patients (68%, 85%, 89%, and 79%, respectively; P<0.001) and the highest mean patient age (75±11 years, 72±11, 73±12, and 75±11 years, respectively; P=0.02). In-hospital all-cause mortality was higher (11%) in this group (0%, 2%, and 2%, respectively; P<0.001). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the medical illness group independently predicted all-cause death (OR, 4.73; 95% CI: 1.33-16.87); although there was no significant difference in cardiac deaths between the 4 groups. Conclusions: TTS has a wide spectrum of outcome depending on the trigger. The medical illness trigger was a powerful predictor of outcome but the main cause of death is not cardiac complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognosis of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) remains controversial due to scarcity of available data. Additionally, the effect of the triggering factors remains elusive. OBJECTIVES This study compared prognosis between TTS and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and investigated short- and long-term outcomes in TTS based on different triggers. METHODS Patients with TTS were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry. Long-term mortality of patients with TTS was compared to an age- and sex-matched cohort of patients with ACS. In addition, short- and long-term outcomes were compared between different groups according to triggering conditions. RESULTS Overall, TTS patients had a comparable long-term mortality risk with ACS patients. Of 1,613 TTS patients, an emotional trigger was detected in 485 patients (30%). Of 630 patients (39%) related to physical triggers, 98 patients (6%) had acute neurologic disorders, while in the other 532 patients (33%), physical activities, medical conditions, or procedures were the triggering conditions. The remaining 498 patients (31%) had no identifiable trigger. TTS patients related to physical stress showed higher mortality rates than ACS patients during long-term follow-up, whereas patients related to emotional stress had better outcomes compared with ACS patients. CONCLUSIONS Overall, TTS patients had long-term outcomes comparable to age- and sex-matched ACS patients. Also, we demonstrated that TTS can either be benign or a life-threating condition depending on the inciting stress factor. We propose a new classification based on triggers, which can serve as a clinical tool to predict short- and long-term outcomes of TTS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a novel clinical score - the InterTAK Diagnostic Score in differentiating Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS Medical records of 40 consecutive patients with ACS and 20 patients with TTS were managed and retrospectively analyzed at the documented center. Each patient was evaluated using the Inter- TAK Diagnostic Score. To illustrate the diagnostic ability of the score, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed. RESULTS Takotsube syndrome patients were more often female compared to the ACS group (70% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.002), an emotional trigger was more prevalent among the TTS group (65% vs. 7.5%, p < 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for the score was 0.885 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78-0.97). Using a cut-off value of 45 points, the sum of sensitivity and specificity was the highest. However, when patients with a score of ≥ 50 were diagnosed as TTS, 85% were diagnosed correctly. When patients with score ≤ 31 were diagnosed as ACS, 92% were diagnosed correctly. CONCLUSIONS The InterTAK Diagnostic Score might help in differentiating TTS from ACSs with high sensitivity and specificity. This finding requires further investigation to confirm its clinical utility.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TS), also known as neurogenic stunned myocardium or broken heart syndrome, is a recognized acute cardiac syndrome. In about 70% of cases, the syndrome is preceded by an emotional or a physical stressor. Among the innumerable physical trigger factors that may induce TS are pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs). PPGL-associated cardiovascular complications as "myocarditis", "myocardial infarction", "reversible cardiomyopathies", and "transient repolarization electrocardiographic changes" have been described since more than 70 years. During the last two decades, dozens of cases of PPGL-induced TS have been reported. PPGLs display increased catecholamine levels, sometimes massively elevated, which may trigger TS, most likely through hyperactivation of sympathetic nervous system including the cardiac sympathetic nerve terminal disruption with norepinephrine seethe and spillover. PPGL-induced TS is characterized by a dramatic clinical presentation with hemodynamic compromise and high complication rates. The prevalence of global and apical sparing pattern of TS in PPGL-induced TS is significantly higher than in other TS populations. In this report, the associations of PPGL-induced cardiovascular complications are analyzed, and clinical features, complications, outcome and treatment of PPGL-induced TS are reviewed.

Comparison of clinical profiles between takotsubo syndrome and acute coronary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Heart Fail Rev 2019; 25:847-860.

Abstract
A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to analyse the differences in clinical profiles between takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and to consolidate the evidence regarding the mortality predictors in TTS patients. Literature search of PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register was made, and 55 studies with a total of 66,653 TTS patients were included. Compared with ACS subjects, TTS subjects had significantly lower left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) values on admission; however, cardiovascular risks were fewer and the recovery LVEF was notably higher at both discharge and follow-up in TTS patients than in ACS patients (all P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed either in-hospital mortality or long-term mortality between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Acute renal failure and malignancies were independent predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality in TTS patients (both P < 0.05). Male sex (HR = 0.565, 95% CI 0.253-0.876, P < 0.001, I2 = 0.00%), advanced age (HR = 0.054, 95% CI 0.041 to 0.067, P < 0.001, I2 = 0.00%), shock (HR = 1.382. 95% CI 1.050 to 1.714, P < 0.001, I2 = 0.00%) and initial LVEF < 35% (HR = 0.962, 95% CI 0.948 to 0.977, P < 0.001, I2 = 16.8%) were associated with an increased risk of long-time mortality in TTS patients. In conclusion, TTS has significantly different clinical characteristics than ACS. However, the in-hospital and long-term overall mortality rates are not trivial for TTS patients, and some presenting features (underlying diseases, male sex, advanced age, low LVEF and shock) were significantly associated with all-cause mortality.
