Takotsubo-Like Myocardial Dysfunction in Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
This study included 23 patients (0.42%). The mean age was 70.7±13.9 years, with predominance of women (73.9%) and typical pattern of Takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction (91.3%). They were associated with short-term poor functional outcomes, including high mortality, neurological deterioration, and functional status at discharge, compared with those without (39.1% versus 2.4%, 47.8% versus 7.4%; and median [interquartile range], 5 [5–6] versus 3 [2–4]; all P

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: A review.
Abstract Abstract Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can occur after acute mental or physical stress, subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, major head trauma, acute medical illness or acute pheochromocytoma crisis. It is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and/or midventricular segments in patients without epicardial coronary artery disease. The condition occurs most commonly in postmenopausal women, and is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction. The pathophysiology of the disorder remains to be elucidated but may involve catecholamine excess and vasospasm. Future studies, perh...
