Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of malignant arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death in takotsubo syndrome and its management
Ibrahim El-Battrawy,Siegfried Lang,Uzair Ansari,Erol Tülümen,Katja Schramm,Christian Fastner,Xiaobo Zhou,Ursula Hoffmann,Martin Borggrefe,Ibrahim Akin +9 more
TL;DR: The short- and long-term prevalence, recurrence rate and impact of life-threatening arrhythmias (LTA) on the clinical outcome of takotsubo syndrome patients is high and patients comprising the LTA group suffered significantly more often from an acute cardiovascular event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of concomitant atrial fibrillation on the prognosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Rates of in-hospital events and short- as well as long-term mortality were significantly higher in TTC patients suffering from atrial fibrillation compared with patients without atrialfibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and long-term outcome of right ventricular involvement in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Tobias Becher,Ibrahim El-Battrawy,Stefan Baumann,Christian Fastner,Michael Behnes,Dirk Loßnitzer,Elif Elmas,Ursula Hoffmann,Theano Papavassiliu,Jürgen Kuschyk,Christina Dösch,Susanne Röger,Dennis Hillenbrand,Katja Schramm,Martin Borggrefe,Ibrahim Akin +15 more
TL;DR: Patients with biventricular SCM have the same in-hospital and long-term outcome compared to classical SCM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Predictors of Patients with Thromboembolic Events in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: Inflammation might play an important role in the development of thromboembolic events, and a right ventricular involvement and ST-segment elevation could be positive predictors for this occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical outcomes associated with catecholamine use in patients diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
Uzair Ansari,Ibrahim El-Battrawy,Christian Fastner,Michael Behnes,Katherine Sattler,Aydin Huseynov,Stefan Baumann,Erol Tülümen,Martin Borggrefe,Ibrahim Akin +9 more
TL;DR: Rates of in-hospital events and short- as well as long-term mortality were significantly higher in TTS patients receiving catecholamine support as compared to the other study-patients.
