Abstract

The relationship between activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and improvement of left ventricular (LV) function and how this correlates with clinical outcomes are not fully explored in Takotsubo syndrome (TS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between activation of the SNS and LV function improvement and how this correlates with clinical outcomes in TS. Patients with TS were retrospectively identified. Patients were divided into two groups according to the timing of LV function improvement: < 1 month (S group) and ≥ 1 month (L group). Activation of the SNS was assessed by plasma catecholamine measurement and Iodine-123 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (I123-MIBG) scintigraphy. In-hospital complications included heart failure, cardiogenic shock, the use of invasive or noninvasive ventilation, life-threatening arrhythmia, cerebrovascular event and all-cause death. A total of 90 patients with TS were enrolled. Of these, 39 patients were in the S group and 51 in the L group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical demographics. The L group was characterized by enhanced SNS activation, including higher levels of catecholamines and lower late heart-mediastinum ratio follo...Continue Reading
