Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Takotsubo Syndrome: Sex-Related Differences.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sex-related differences in Takotsubo syndrome have been described, but no information is available in patients who develop cardiogenic shock.

Methods and results

Of 412 patients with Takotsubo syndrome with cardiogenic shock, 71 (17.2%) were men. Male patients were older (71.1±12.2 versus 65.3±17.1 years, P<0.001), more frequently smokers (47 [66.2%] versus 66 [19.4%], P<0.01), with higher prevalence of neoplasms (6 [8.5%] versus 8 [2.3%], P=0.01), lower left ventricular ejection fraction (31% versus 37%, P<0.001), more frequent invasive mechanical ventilation (30 [42.3%] versus 90 [26.4%], P=<0.01), higher rate of infections (43 [60.6%] versus 148 [43.4%], P=<0.01), and longer in-hospital stay (19±20 days versus 13±15 day
