Abstract
BACKGROUND Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is characterized by transient myocardial dysfunction with outcomes ranging from favorable to life-threatening. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as an essential tool in its diagnosis and management and is consistently recommended by current guidelines in the diagnostic work-up. However, the prognostic value of CMR in patients with TS remains undetermined. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of CMR in managing patients with TS. METHOD PubMed, MEDLINE via Ovid, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify studies reporting the prognostic role of multiparameteric CMR in patients with TS with a follow-up ≥ 12 months. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as all-cause mortality, cardiac death, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, recurrence of TS, and cerebrovascular events. RESULTS Five studies with 564 patients were included for reporting correlation of CMR parameters with MACCE. Primary endpoint occurred in 69 (12%) patients. Among the CMR parameters assessed, myocardial strain parameters (including measurements of the left atrium, left and right ventricle), right ventricle involvement, and a CMR-based radiomics model demonstrated correlations with MACCE. Additionally, one study showed the predictive ability of a CMR score. CONCLUSION The current systematic review suggests that CMR may offer prognostic insights in TS patients, underscoring its potential clinical utility for integration into clinical practice. However, scarce data are currently available; hence, further research is needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of cardiovascular risk factors in the occurrence and progression of cognitive impairment is relevant in aging studies. In this condition, attention is one of the processes less studied, but preliminary evidence suggests an association between cardiometabolic alterations and attentional decline. Attention is not a unitary process but a set of independent systems (Alerting, Orienting, Executive), which can interact in certain conditions to ensure maximum behavioral efficiency. METHODS We investigated attentive networks and their interactions in patients with Takostubo syndrome (TTS). In all, 20 participants with TTS and 20 individuals without cardiovascular pathologies performed an Attention-Network Task for Interaction, which assesses attentional networks and their interactions. RESULTS Patients with TTS showed an atypical orienting effect when compared to the control group. Moreover, only the control group exhibited an interaction between orienting and alerting. CONCLUSION These findings establish the relevance of brain-heart interaction in identifying attentional impairment as a prodrome of progressively severe cognitive impairment in TTS.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by a transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction, burdened by significant acute and long-term mortality and morbidity. The prognosis of TTS, especially in the long-term, is influenced by both non-cardiovascular (non-CV) and CV comorbidities, among which cancer is one of the most common. The presence of a malignancy is proven to be associated with higher mortality in TTS. Moreover, a number of anticancer treatments has been reported to possibly cause TTS as a form of cardiotoxicity, even though clearcut associations are lacking. The aim of this narrative review is to sum up contemporary knowledge on the association of cancer and TTS, addressing unmet needs and practical implications. The importance of a close collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists is herein highlighted, both to allow an adequate management of the acute TTS phase, and to actively and safely return to the oncologic management once the acute setting is resolved.

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 cardiomyopathy (TC) is a reversible cardiomyopathy mimicking an acute coronary syndrome, usually observed in response to acute stress situations. The association between acute ischemic stroke and TC is already known, since it has been previously reported that ischemic stroke can be both a consequence and a potential cause of TC. However, the precise pathophysiological mechanism linking the two conditions is still poorly understood. The aim of our review is to expand insights regarding the genetic susceptibility and available specific biomarkers of TC and to investigate the clinical profile and outcomes of patients with TC and stroke. Since evidence and trials on TC and stroke are currently lacking, this paper aims to fill a substantial gap in the literature about the relationship between these pathologies.
