Correlation of Inflammatory Parameters with the Development of Cerebral Vasospasm, Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, and Functional Outcome after Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1955. [PMID: 38610720 PMCID: PMC11012874 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13071955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The present work aimed to determine whether a relationship exists between inflammatory parameters and the development of vasospasm (VS) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), as well as clinical outcome, in patients suffering from spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods: In this study, the authors processed the prospectively collected laboratory and clinical data of spontaneous SAH patients admitted to the neurointensive care unit between March 2015 and October 2023. The highest values of neutrophils (NEUpeak), monocytes (MONOpeak), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLRpeak), and CRP (CRPpeak) during the initial 7 days were correlated with the occurrence of VS and TTC, and with the outcome measures at day 30 after onset. Results: Data were collected from 175 SAH patients. Based on ROC analysis, for the development of VS, MONOpeak was the most accurate indicator (AUC: 0.619, optimal cut-off: 1.45 G/L). TTC with severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction < 40%) was indicated most sensitively by NEUpeak (ROC: 0.763, optimal cut-off: 12.34 G/L). Both for GOS and Barthel Index at day 30, CRPpeak was the best predictor for the outcome (GOS: ROC: 0.846, optimal cut-off: 78.33 mg/L and Barthel Index: ROC: 0.819, optimal cut-off: 78.33 mg/L). Conclusions: Laboratory parameters referring to inflammation during the initial 7 days after SAH correlate with the development of VS and TTC, and thus may predict functional outcome.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a major disease in our society that often presents with multiple comorbidities with mutual interaction and aggravation. The comorbidity of HF and stroke is a high risk condition that requires particular attention to ensure early detection of complications, efficient diagnostic workup, close monitoring, and consequent treatment of the patient. The bi-directional interaction between the heart and the brain is inherent in the pathophysiology of HF where HF may be causal for acute cerebral injury, and - in turn - acute cerebral injury may induce or aggravate HF via imbalanced neural and neurovegetative control of cardiovascular regulation. The present document represents the consensus view of the ESC Council on Stroke, the Heart Failure Association and the ESC Working Group on Thrombosis to summarize current insights on pathophysiological interactions of the heart and the brain in the comorbidity of HF and stroke. Principal aspects of diagnostic workup, pathophysiological mechanisms, complications, clinical management in acute conditions and in long-term care of patients with the comorbidity are presented and state-of-the-art clinical management and current evidence from clinical trials is discussed. Beside the physicians perspective, also the patients values and preferences are taken into account. Interdisciplinary cooperation of cardiologists, stroke specialists, other specialists and primary care physicians is pivotal to ensure optimal treatment in acute events and in continued long-term treatment of these patients. Key consensus statements are presented in a concise overview on mechanistic insights, diagnostic workup, prevention and treatment to inform clinical acute and continued care of patients with the comorbidity of HF and stroke.

Abstract
Takotsubo Syndrome (TS) is an acute, reversible cardiac dysfunction, with complex, not entirely understood pathophysiology and heterogeneous clinical picture. Imaging methods each have a crucial role in the diagnosis, in-hospital management, short term and long term follow up. Coronary angiography needs to be performed, especially in the setting of a suspected acute coronary syndrome, in order to rule out coronary artery disease. Echocardiography plays a central role both in the acute and the chronic phase. It is the first imaging investigation performed in patients with TS, valuable to diagnose systolic dysfunction, the wall motion pattern and early complications. Cardiac magnetic resonance tissue characterization provides an essential role in the differential diagnosis of TS with other non-ischemic causes of systolic dysfunction. This review focuses on the imaging methods and the important part they play in the complex management of the disease.

Rev Cardiovasc Med 2023; 24:177.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a frequent complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), especially in massive SAH with severe neurological damage. The initial presentation of TS is similar to acute coronary syndrome, causing differential diagnostic issues. Unnecessary diagnostic steps and uncertainty in therapy may delay the definitive treatment of the aneurysm, therefore increasing the risk of rebleeding. The purpose of this review is to summarize the latest knowledge on the diagnosis and therapy of TS in SAH and to provide a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for the acute phase, promoting the early definitive treatment of the aneurysm. Rapid hemodynamic stabilization and early aneurysm securing are key points in reducing the risk of delayed cerebral ischemia and improving outcomes. In acute SAH noninvasive bedside diagnostic methods are preferred and securing the aneurysm is the priority. The combination of electrocardiography, cardiac biomarkers, and echocardiography is of great importance in differentiating TS from acute myocardial infarction. The risk-benefit ratio of coronary angiography should be carefully and individually considered and its use should be limited to patients with strong evidence of myocardial ischemia, after the successful endovascular treatment of the aneurysm. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring may be beneficial in cases of cardiogenic shock or pulmonary edema. In patients with hemodynamical instability secondary to TS, the use of non-catecholamine inotropes, especially levosimendan is recommended. In refractory hypotension, mechanical support should be considered. The left ventricular function improves within days to months after the acute event, low initial ejection fraction may predispose to delayed recovery.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a life-threatening, neurological emergency characterized by accumulation of blood in the subarachnoid space due to a ruptured aneurysm. Over the past several decades, improvements in the clinical management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage have led to better patient outcomes. However, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. During the acute phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and prior to the definitive management of the aneurysm, numerous medical emergencies, such as elevated intracranial pressure and cerebral vasospasm, must be effectively managed to ensure the best possible neurological outcome. Early and rapid open communication between the clinical specialties caring for the aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patient is vital for rapid data collection, decision-making, and definitive treatment. In this narrative review, we aim to present the current guidelines for the multidisciplinary acute management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
Intracranial bleeds, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, carry high morbidity and mortality rates. Often intracranial hemorrhages result in debilitating residual neurological symptoms but can be so extensive that cardiac complications can also be seen. We present a rare case of a patient who was found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage that incited the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which subsequently progressed to an acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this case report is to explore the underlying pathophysiology of how cerebral hemorrhage can result in apical ballooning of the left ventricle through various mechanisms including sympathetic-induced surge in catecholamines and neurogenic damage to the myocardium. We also intend to highlight the importance for clinicians to consider brain bleeds in the differential diagnosis when a patient presents with an acute myocardial infarction as treatment with heparin is generally contraindicated.
