Contemporary characteristics, outcomes and novel risk score for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: a national inpatient sample analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is an established differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronaries with significant interest but limited data on prognostication. We reviewed the characteristics and in-hospital outcomes and developed a novel risk score for TC.

Methods

Using the National Inpatient Sample data from 2016 to 2020, we identified adult patients (≥18 years) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and TC. We divided the cohort into ACS with and without TC and retrieved baseline data. Multivariable regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with TC diagnosis and adverse outcomes, leading to the development of a risk-scoring system.

Results

Among 7 219 004 adult ACS admissions, 78 214 (1.0%) were diagnosed
