Lack of Efficacy of Drug Therapy in Preventing Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Recurrence: A Meta‐analysis

ConclusionsA meta‐analysis of the efficacy of different medications through the clinical TTC registries available showed no clinical evidence for a standard drug treatment in the chronic management of TTC. β‐Blockers, angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, statins, and aspirin do not seem to significantly reduce recurrences of TTC. Randomized, adequately powered studies are needed to further assess this issue.
