Takotsubo Syndrome in the Setting of Pacemaker Implantation: Results From a Multicenter National Prospective Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is evidence that pacemaker implantation can trigger Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). However, limited information is available on the prognosis of TTS caused by this trigger, so our study aims to elucidate the clinical features, presentation, and prognostic factors associated with this syndrome in this specific situation.

Methods

We analyzed a group of patients with TTS triggered by pacemaker implantation (n = 41), including consecutive cases from the multicenter registry on takotsubo syndrome (RETAKO) and patients identified through a systematic literature search, and compared them to the general RETAKO cohort (n = 1559). We performed a 1:3 propensity score matching (PSM) based on dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoker/ex-smoker status, syncope, angina, vagal sym
