Incomplete Recovery From Takotsubo Syndrome Is a Major Determinant of Cardiovascular Mortality

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that incomplete recovery after TTS is characterized by residual systemic inflammation and an increased cardiac mortality at follow up. Altogether, the present study findings determined that patients with persistent inflammation are a high-risk subgroup, and should be targeted in future clinical trials with specific therapies to attenuate inflammation.PMID:33828028 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-20-1116
