Quality and Audience Engagement of Takotsubo Syndrome-Related Videos on TikTok: Content Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as the broken heart syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy, is increasing worldwide. The understanding of its prognosis has been progressively evolving and currently appears to be poorer than previously thought, which has attracted the attention of researchers. An attempt to recognize the awareness of this condition among the general population drove us to analyze the dissemination of this topic on TikTok, a popular short-video-based social media platform. We found a considerable number of videos on TTS on TikTok; however, the quality of the presented information remains unknown.

Objective

The aim of this study was to analyze the quality and audience engagement of TTS-related videos on TikTok.

Methods
