Age-related differences in cardiogenic shock secondary to Takotsubo syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Age-related differences in Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) have been described, but there is limited information regarding TTS patients who develop cardiogenic shock (CS).

Methods and results

We analysed data from 408 CS-TTS patients in the RETAKO registry. Patients were stratified into three age groups: ≤50 years (9%), 51-74 years (48%), and ≥75 years (43%). In the youngest group, compared to the middle-aged and the oldest groups, patients were more likely to be male (35% vs. 16% and 14%, p = .01), have a physical trigger (65% vs. 43% and 49%, p = .04), exhibit atypical echocardiographic patterns (27% vs. 11% and 11%, p = .02), and experienced a higher incidence of ventricular arrhythmias (24% vs. 8% and 7%, p = .01). In-hospital mortality rates were 5% in younger patie
