Abstract 042: Association Between Preexisting Valvular Heart Disease and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Among Hospitalized Patients in the United States [Session Title: Poster Session I]
Conclusion: In this large, nationwide study, preexisting VHD was associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for TTCM. Our results can guide future clinical decision-making regarding prompt risk factor identification for poor prognosis in TTCM patients. Future prospective studies are needed to further evaluate this association.
