TL;DR: Patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy had a higher prevalence of neurologic or psychiatric disorders than did those with an acute coronary syndrome and physical triggers, acute neurologics or psychiatric diseases, high troponin levels, and a low ejection fraction on admission were independent predictors for in-hospital complications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared two treatment strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF): rhythm control (restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm) and rate control (pharmacologic or invasive rate-control and anticoagulation).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TTS can either be benign or a life-threating condition depending on the inciting stress factor, and a new classification based on triggers is proposed, which can serve as a clinical tool to predict short- and long-term outcomes of TTS.

TL;DR: OMT over 1 year was associated with a significantly lower mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction in clinical practice, however OMT is provided to less than half of eligible patients leaving room for substantial improvement.

TL;DR: Clinical and electrocardiographic parameters independently predicted mortality after cardiac arrest in takotsubo syndrome and cardiac arrest is relatively frequent in TTS and is associated with higher short- and long-term mortality.
