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: It is concluded that MO is an independent predictor of MACE and cardiac death, whereas IS%LV is not independently associated with MACE.

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: A cytoplasmic protein network that employs lysine methylation for the maintenance and function of skeletal muscle is revealed and deficiency in Smyd2 results in the loss of Hsp90 methylation, impaired titin stability, and altered muscle function.

TL;DR: In patients undergoing TAVR use of a cerebral embolic protection device demonstrated a significant higher rate of stroke-free survival compared with unprotected TAVS, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons score for mortality and TAVr without protection were independent predictors for the primary endpoint.
