Trends and Impact of the Use of Mechanical Circulatory Support for Cardiogenic Shock Secondary to Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Data on the trend and impact of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) are scarce. We evaluated the incidence and outcomes of cardiogenic shock (CS) in TC patients and the trend in use of MCS over time. The National Inpatient Sample from 2005 through 2014 was used to identify patients admitted with TC and those receiving MCS. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of mortality. The Cochran-Armitage test was used for the trend analysis across the years.
