Abstract
Background Stress cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo syndrome) defined as Takotsubo syndrome is defined as a reversible acute myocardial syndrome with myocardial injury with regional wall motion abnormality and no coronary explanations in the context of stress. The pathophysiology remains partially unknown, and these cases are probably underestimated in paediatrics. We report six cases of Takotsubo probably secondary to neurological damage. Case summary Six patients (10, 13, 16, 10, and 9 years and 5 months) presented with haemodynamic lability with echocardiography data leading to suspicion of Takotsubo syndrome. These cases were secondary to neurological involvement (cerebral haemorrhage, intraventricular haemorrhage, brain damage due to bifrontal oedema, posterior fossa tumour, pneumococcal meningitis, high-grade glioma). All patients were rapidly started on amine. Reversibility of the acute myocardial syndrome was complete in all but one child, who rapidly progressed to encephalic death. Discussion Neurological distress has been suggested as a potential cause of Takotsubo syndrome. The pathophysiology is possibly related to excessive stimulation of the sympathetic system. This syndrome should probably be considered in the setting of left heart failure with neurological distress so as not to delay the use of amines especially since in the paediatric population the probability of a coronary origin is low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial dysfunction is common in septic shock and has long been recognized. Takotsubo syndrome is an acute and usually reversible myocardial injury without evidence of an obstructive coronary artery disease, yet little is known about this syndrome in septic shock patients. CASE PRESENTATION Among 84 septic shock patients admitted to the ICU over a period of 8 months, 7 patients (8.3%) were diagnosed with Takotsubo syndrome. The percentage of men was 71%, and the mean age was 58 (19-87) years. Sudden hemodynamic deterioration and/or dyspnea were the presenting symptoms in 6 patients. T-wave inversion was the major ECG anomaly in 5 patients. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 31.8% (20.0-53.0). Mild elevation of cardiac troponin disproportionate to the extent of regional wall motion abnormalities was present in all patients. Cardiac complications occurred in 6 patients. The mean time to recover the cardiac function was 6.5 (3-11) days. In-hospital death was observed in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS Takotsubo syndrome is not uncommon in septic shock patients and may be the cause of some patients with sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. New-onset hemodynamic and respiratory worsening could arouse the suspicion of Takotsubo syndrome and prompt the screening for this syndrome using echocardiography in this clinical context.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome is a well-characterized cause of acute yet reversible heart failure associated with periods of intense emotional stress, often mimicking on presentation an acute coronary syndrome. Animal models of Takotsubo syndrome have been developed, either through the application of a stressor, or administration of exogenous catecholamine. We found that in a model of isoproterenol-induced Takotsubo syndrome in anesthetized rats hyperthermia (40–41°C) would occur after the administration of isoproterenol. Maintenance of this hyperthermia would result in an apical hypocontractility typical of the syndrome, whereas prevention of hyperthermia with active cooling to maintain a euthermic core body temperature prevented (but did not subsequently reverse) apical hypocontractility. In vitro experimentation with isolated cardiomyocytes showed no effect of hyperthermia on either baseline contractility or contractility change after beta-adrenoceptor stimulation. We suggest that the rise in body temperature that is characteristic of catecholamine storm may be a component in the development of Takotsubo syndrome.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in orthotopic liver transplant recipients: A cohort study using multi-center pooled electronic health record data. World J Hepatol 2022; 14:400-410. [PMID: 35317180 PMCID: PMC8891665 DOI: 10.4254/wjh.v14.i2.400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is associated with adverse prognosis. Limited data suggest that TCM occurring in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients is associated with elevated peri-operative risk.
AIM To characterize the predictors of TCM in OLT recipients, using a large, multi-center pooled electronic health database.
METHODS A multi-institutional database (Explorys Inc, Cleveland, OH, USA), an aggregate of de-identified electronic health record data from 26 United States healthcare systems was surveyed. A cohort of patients with a Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms of “liver transplant” between 09/2015 and 09/2020 was identified. Subsequently, individuals who developed a new diagnosis of TCM following OLT were identified. Furthermore, the risk associations with TCM among this patient population were characterized using linear regression.
RESULTS Between 09/2015 and 09/2020, of 37718540 patients in the database, 38740 (0.10%) had a history of OLT (60.6% had an age between 18-65 years, 58.1% female). A new diagnosis of TCM was identified in 0.3% of OLT recipients (45.5% had an age between 18-65 years, 72.7% female), compared to 0.04% in non-OLT patients [odds ratio (OR): 7.98, 95% confidence intervals: 6.62-9.63, (P < 0.0001)]. OLT recipients who developed TCM, compared to those who did not, were more likely to be greater than 65 years of age, Caucasian, and female (P < 0.05). There was also a significant association with cardiac arrhythmias, especially ventricular arrhythmias (P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION TCM was significantly more likely to occur in LT recipients vs non-recipients. Older age, Caucasian ethnicity, female gender, and presence of arrhythmias were significantly associated with TCM in LT recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although imaging examination to exclude coronary artery disease (CAD) is an indispensable step for a definite diagnosis of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), this step may be overlooked in a substantial proportion of patients with secondary TTS admitted to a tertiary hospital. However, the clinical profiles and outcomes of these patients with "possible TTS" have rarely been investigated. METHODS Among 420 consecutive TTS patients with characteristic transient ventricular ballooning on repeated echocardiography, 244 patients (58.1%) who underwent an imaging study for CAD were diagnosed with "definite TTS", whereas the remaining 176 were designated with "possible TTS". RESULTS Overall, hypoxia (67.6%) and dyspnea (55.5%) were predominant presentations. The possible group was characterized by higher prevalence of male gender (46.6% vs. 35.2%, p = 0.019), secondary TTS (97.2% vs. 86.5%, p <0.001), cancer (43.2% vs. 29.1%, p = 0.003), sepsis (46.0% vs. 32.0%, p = 0.003), and non-apical ballooning pattern (30.7% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.001) with less common ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram (18.8% vs. 34.0%, p = 0.001). The possible group showed higher frequency of mechanical ventilation (56.2% vs. 40.2%, p = 0.001), pulmonary edema (72.2% vs. 61.5%, p = 0.023) and shock management (70.5% vs. 54.1%, p = 0.001) with similar in-hospital mortality (17.2% vs. 17.0%, p = 0.964). CONCLUSIONS In real-world clinical practice, coronary evaluation for strict diagnosis of TTS is not frequently feasible. Addition of the possible group without coronary evaluation to the clinical spectrum of TTS would be helpful for fair estimation of clinical implication of TTS.

Abstract
A 67-year-old man with high-grade fever and systemic erythema visited our hospital. Based on his symptoms and history of outdoor activities, we considered the possibility of rickettsial diseases, especially Japanese spotted fever (JSF). He was treated with antibiotics. After hospitalization, the patient complained of palpitations, and electrocardiography revealed ventricular tachycardia (VT). He was successfully treated with electrical defibrillation. Moreover, echocardiography showed decreased wall motion at the apex. However, coronary angiography showed no coronary artery-related stenosis. JSF was confirmed via polymerase chain reaction using a biopsy sample of the erythema. Subsequently, the patient was discharged without complications. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of JSF complicated with VT and acute cardiac damage.

Abstract
The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents an ongoing medical challenge, as it involves multiple organs, including the cardiovascular system. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) has been described in the context of COVID-19 in 2 different scenarios: as a direct complication of the infection, and as an indirect outcome secondary to the psychological burden of quarantine and social isolation (ie, stress-induced cardiomyopathy). Confirming the diagnosis of TTS in COVID-19 may be challenging due to the limited use of coronary angiography consistent with the recommended guidelines aimed at minimizing contact with infected individuals. The use of natriuretic peptide as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in this context may not be reliable as this peptide is already elevated in severe cases of COVID-19 regardless of TTS diagnosis. A relatively high incidence of complications has been reported in these cases, probably related to the severity of the underlying infectious disease. Although quarantine-induced stress cardiomyopathy is an unsurprising outcome of the powerful stress resulting from the current pandemic, conflicting results have been reported, and further studies are encouraged to determine the true incidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the epidemiology and outcomes of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in children. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization 2012 and 2016 Kids' Inpatient Database was performed. Patients admitted with the diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the age group of 1 month-20 years were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 code 429.83 and ICD-10 code I51.81. RESULTS Among a total of 4,860,859 discharges, there were 153 with the diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (3.1 per 100,000 discharges). Among patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, 55.0% were male, 62.4% were white, and 16.7% were black. Eighty-nine percent of patients were between 12 and 20 years. Psychiatric diagnosis was documented in 46% and substance use disorder in 36.2%. Sepsis was documented in 22.8% of patients. The median length of stay was 5 days (interquartile range: 2.7-15), and median total charges were $75,080 (interquartile range: 32,176-198,336). The overall mortality for takotsubo cardiomyopathy was 7%. On multivariable regression analysis, mortality was higher in the presence of anoxic injury (odds ratio = 34.42, 95% confidence interval: 4.85-320.11, p = 0.00). CONCLUSIONS Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is uncommon in children and carries a mortality rate of 7%. Most children with takotsubo cardiomyopathy are adolescent males, many of whom have psychiatric disorder or substance use disorder or both. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients who present with cardiac dysfunction and have underlying psychiatric disorders or drug abuse.

Abstract
COVID-19 became a global pandemic in early 2020. While well known for its pulmonary manifestations, the virus also has a number of cardiac manifestations as well. Takotsubo syndrome has scarcely been reported in patients with COVID-19, but it is possible that the cytokine storm associated with the infection can trigger Takotsubo syndrome in patients with underlying risk factors for Takotsubo (emotional distress, physical distress, history of psychiatric disorders).

Abstract
Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has been widely recognized in recent decades and is triggered by either physical or psychological stressors. Case presentation A 70-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department due to confusion, hypotension, fever, chills, and cough. She had a one-year history of diabetes insipidus. Pituitary function examination at admission revealed decreased thyroid, sex and adrenal hormones. Pituitary MRI displayed findings suggestive of nonhemorrhagic pituitary apoplexy. Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed T-wave inversion and extended QT interval. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed left ventricular apical dysplasia and ballooning, accompanied by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed no obvious coronary arterial stenosis. The left ventriculogram demonstrated an octopus clathrate appearance. Most ECG and TTE changes recovered 10 days later. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of newly diagnosed TTC associated with pituitary apoplexy.

Abstract
Stress cardiomyopathy (SC) is an increasingly recognized form of acute heart failure, which has been linked to a wide variety of emotional and physical triggers. The pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease remain incompletely understood, however, inflammation has been recently shown to play a pivotal role. This review summarizes the most notable findings of myocardial inflammation, demonstrated from biopsies and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in humans. In the acute stage macrophage infiltration appears to represent the substrate for myocardial edema, together defining the local myocardial inflammation. This appears to evolve into a low grade systemic chronic inflammation which could explain the protracted clinical course of these patients and raises hope for finding a specific SC cardiac biomarker as well as a therapeutic breakthrough. As a parallel to the human findings the review covers some of the emerging mechanistic insights from experimental models, which, albeit not proven in the human condition, highlight the possible importance in pursuing distinct paths of investigation such as the beta-receptor signaling, aberrations of nitric oxide generation and signaling and the contribution of the vascular endothelium/permeability to edema and inflammation during the acute stage.

Abstract
Background There are limited data on the presentation of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) in severe sepsis. Methods and Results This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample database (2007–2013) of all adults with severe sepsis. TTC was identified in patients with severe sepsis using previously validated administrative codes. The primary outcome was in‐hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes included resource utilization and discharge disposition. Regression analysis was performed for the entire cohort and a propensity‐matched sample. An exploratory analysis was performed for predictors of TTC incidence and mortality in TTC. During this 7‐year period, in 7.1‐million hospitalizations for severe sepsis, TTC was diagnosed in 10 746 (0.15%) admissions. TTC was noted more commonly in whites, females, and among 65‐ to 79‐year‐old individuals. TTC was independently associated with lower in‐hospital mortality in severe sepsis (odds ratio, 0.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.51–0.65). This association was more prominent in females (odds ratio, 0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.44–0.59]) compared with males (odds ratio, 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.55–0.85]). Presentation in later years of the study period, middle‐age, female sex, and white race were independent predictors for the diagnosis of TTC. Age ≥80 years, black race, greater comorbidity, and multiorgan dysfunction were independently associated with higher in‐hospital mortality among TTC admissions. Conclusions TTC is observed with increasing frequency in severe sepsis and was associated with a significantly lower in‐hospital mortality compared with patients without TTC. Presentation in later years of the study period, middle age, female sex, and white race were independent predictors for the diagnosis of TTC in severe sepsis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) most commonly occurs in postmenopausal women who have been exposed to a triggering event such as acute physical or emotional distress. Sepsis-induced TTS in young premenopausal women were rarely reported. In particular, the relationship between sepsis-induced TTS and sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) remains to be illuminated. PATIENT CONCERNS Two young premenopausal women were admitted to the hospital with sepsis and myocardial involvement. DIAGNOSIS Both patients fully met the Mayo Clinic criteria for TTS. INTERVENTIONS Both patients received anti-infection and fluid infusion treatment. OUTCOMES Both patients were discharged without complications and the follow-up ultrasonic echocardiography showed normal results. LESSONS In this report, we describe 2 young premenopausal women with sepsis-induced TTS. There is an overlap between sepsis-induced TTS and SIC, and SIC could be a special type of TTS, which occurs under the stress of sepsis.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to report the heterogeneity of clinical presentation in Tako-Tsubo syndrome (TTS), including a significant prevalence of normal ECG and echocardiographic patterns in a series of consecutive patients from a single center. METHODS AND RESULTS From our database we selected a total of 168 cases of TTS. A total of 140 of these (Group A); 14 men (10%), mean age 60.3 years, range 39-87; 126 women (90%), mean age 66.1 years, range 43-93; matched the following reported criteria: typical stenocardic pain immediately following an emotional acute stress, or acute medical or surgical event within the preceding 12 h; acute rise and fall of troponin release; absence of significant coronary disease at coronary angiography. ECG findings at presentation ranged from T wave abnormalities (41 cases, 29.3%) to ST elevation (52 cases, 37.1%) and ST depression (11 cases, 7.9%), whereas in 36 cases (25.7%) the ECG was normal. Echocardiography at presentation showed akinesia of the total apical or medium-apical segments in 74 patients (53%), whereas it showed akinesia of left ventricular wall segments in other locations in 30 patients (21%) and even normal regional wall motion and thickening in 36 patients (26%). We described also a series of 13 female patients (mean age 70.2 years; age range 45-85 years) (Group B) who did not complain of chest pain at presentation, but showed a classical Tako-Tsubo evolution of wall motion abnormalities at echocardiography. Finally we selected 15 female patients (mean age 69.3 years; age range 49-89 years) (Group C) who formally did not report acute stress immediately preceding their presentation to the hospital for chest pain. They showed a classical Tako-Tsubo evolution of wall motion abnormalities at echocardiography and only one case of normal ECG pattern at presentation. CONCLUSION In this series of acute TTS, a wide variability of ECG and echocardiographic patterns are observed, ranging from ST elevation with coexisting segmental wall motion abnormalities of the typical TTS to a clinical presentation characterized by normal ECG and normal segmental wall motion pattern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a common condition encountered by emergency and critical care physicians, with significant costs, both economic and human. Myocardial dysfunction in sepsis is a well-recognized but poorly understood phenomenon. There is an extensive body of literature on this subject, yet results are conflicting and no objective definition of septic cardiomyopathy exists, representing a critical knowledge gap. OBJECTIVES In this article, we review the pathophysiology of septic cardiomyopathy, covering the effects of key inflammatory mediators on both the heart and the peripheral vasculature, highlighting the interconnectedness of these two systems. We focus on the extant literature on echocardiographic and laboratory assessment of the heart in sepsis, highlighting gaps therein and suggesting avenues for future research. Implications for treatment are briefly discussed. CONCLUSIONS As a result of conflicting data, echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (systolic or diastolic) or right ventricular function cannot currently provide reliable prognostic information in patients with sepsis. Natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins are of similarly unclear utility. Heterogeneous classification of illness, treatment variability, and lack of formal diagnostic criteria for septic cardiomyopathy contribute to the conflicting results. Development of formal diagnostic criteria, and use thereof in future studies, may help elucidate the link between cardiac performance and outcomes in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a cardiac syndrome that often mimics acute myocardial infarction. TTC is commonly triggered by physical or emotional stress; however, acute infection is a rarer etiology. This report concerns the case of an 82-year-old female who presented with non-positional and non-pleuritic chest pain, with an associated fever and cough and chest x-ray findings consistent with pneumonia. Cardiac enzymes and ECG findings were consistent with acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, during coronary angiography, no coronary artery disease could explain the patient’s ACS. A post-catheterization echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 25%, with apical akinesis. A repeat echocardiogram 4 weeks after presentation showed a normal EF and normal wall motion, confirming a diagnosis of TTC.

Abstract
While both sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) and stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SICMP) are common in patients with sepsis, the pathogenesis of the 2 diseases is different, and they require different treatment strategies. Thus, we aimed to investigate risk factors and outcomes between the 2 diseases.This retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock, admitted to intensive care unit via emergency department in Korea University Anam Hospital, and who underwent transthoracic echocardiography within the first 24 hours of admission.In all, 25 patients with SIMD and 27 patients with SICMP were enrolled. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and a history of heart failure (HF) were more prevalent in both the SIMD and SICMP groups than in the control group. In the SIMD and SICMP groups, levels of inflammatory cytokines were similar. Serum troponin level was significantly elevated in the SICMP and SIMD group compared to the control group. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP) level was significantly elevated in the SIMD group compared to the SICMP group or control group. The in-hospital mortality rate in the SIMD and SICMP group was about 40%, showing increased trends compared with the control group. The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly increased in SIMD group with EF<30% than in SICMP group with EF<30%. In multiple logistic regression analysis, a past history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and HF was significantly associated with the incidence of SIMD. Younger age, elevated levels of NT pro-BNP, and positive result of blood culture also showed significant odds ratio regard to the occurrence of SIMD. However, only elevated lactate and troponin level were positively associated with the incidence of SICMP.The SIMD and SICMP had different risk factors. The risk factors of SIMD were younger age, history of DM, history of HF, elevated NT pro-BNP, and positive result of blood culture. The elevated levels of lactate and troponin were identified as risk factors of SICMP. More importantly, in-hospital mortality rate from SIMD and SICMP showed increased trend and worse outcome in SIMD group with reduced EF<30%. Thus, developing SIMD or SICMP reflected poor prognosis in sepsis or septic shock.

Abstract
Stress-related cardiomyopathy can develop during the postoperative period due to surgery-related stress factors. However, the prevalence and risk factors for this condition are not yet known. During a retrospective, observational study, patients older than 19 years who underwent procedures from January 2011 to December 2015 at a tertiary hospital were included. The main aim was to identify the prevalence and related risk factors for postoperative stress-related cardiomyopathy. To estimate the incidence per risk factor, univariate and multivariate Poisson regression analyses were performed. During the 5-year period, 95,840 patients older than 19 years underwent 125,314 procedures, and the prevalence of postoperative stress-related cardiomyopathy was 17.74 per 100,000 (95% confidence interval, 9.31–26.17), with an in-hospital mortality of 23.5%. As a result, three risk factors were significantly associated: preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (incidence rate ratio, 5.901 for American Society of Anesthesiologists class 1–2 [ref] versus 3–6; 95% confidence interval,1.289–27.002; P = 0.022); preoperative body mass index (incidence rate ratio, 1.247 for increases of 18.5 [ref] to 30; 95% confidence interval, 1.067–1.458; P = 0.006); and preoperative serum sodium (incidence rate ratio, 0.830 for each increase of 10 mmol/L from 130; 95% confidence interval, 0.731–0.942; P = 0.004). The incidence rate ratio for age for each increase of 10 years from 50 years was 1.057, but it was not statistically significant (P = 0.064). Our study found that the prevalence of postoperative stress-related cardiomyopathy was 17.74 patients per 100,000 adult patients over the course of 5 years, with four cases of in-hospital mortality. Factors that increased the risk of postoperative stress-related cardiomyopathy included higher American Society of Anesthesiologists class (≥3), preoperative hyponatremia, and higher preoperative body mass index.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease of myocardium causing either mechanical or electrical disturbances. Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is an entity of cardiomyopathy which is reversible in 1â€"2 weeks after recovery from sepsis or septic shock. SICM is thought to have unpredictable cumulative mortality towards sepsis but its exact mechanism remains elusive. We report a case of Escherichia coli SICM in a 63-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of dyspnoea on exertion and orthopnoea following nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea after consuming Chinese foods. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severely reduced global left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of <20% which returned back to normal LVEF of 57% after 10 days. Subsequent cardiac catheterisation showed non-obstructive coronaries. No specific therapy intended for reversal of SICM presents to date despite current sepsis survival guideline available for haemodynamic support. Initiation of beta blockers after recovery from septic shock has been beneficial.
