Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Stroke
The incidence and type of stroke in the setting of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) can vary, depending on the patient population being studied [1–5]. For this reason, we sought to investigate the occurrence of TC together with stroke at our institution (Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona). To do this, we identified all patients with a diagnosis of TC per ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition) (ICD-9 code 429.83; October 1, 2006, to October 31, 2011) (Table 1) or apical ballooning syndrome (ICD-9 code 419.89; January 1, 2006, to September 30, 2006) in a retrospective analysis of the electronic medical records.

Abstract 270: Primary and Specialty Care Follow-up Appointments after Stroke: Rates, Variability, and Opportunities for Improvement Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: A high proportion of patients with acute stroke failed to have a primary care or specialty care follow-up appointment scheduled prior to discharge and this varied widely across participating hospitals. A collaborative approach for data-driven change and exchange of local best practices and facilitators could lead to significant improvement.

Central Hemodynamics Are Associated With Cardiovascular Disease and Albuminuria in Type 1 Diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS: In type 1 diabetes patients, increased CASP and CPP and decreased CADP and SEVR were independently associated with history of CVD and albuminuria. Furthermore, SEVR predicted mortality and ESRD during follow-up. Future studies are needed to determine whether targeting central hemodynamics improves outcome.
