Right ventricular impairment in Takotsubo syndrome is associated with increased in-hospital complications, long-term mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
Is right ventricular impairment associated with worse outcomes in patients with Takotsubo syndrome?
Right ventricular impairment in Takotsubo syndrome is a significant prognostic marker associated with increased in-hospital complications and long-term mortality.
Right ventricular impairment was not an uncommon finding in patients with Takotsubo syndrome and was independently associated with increased in-hospital complications, long-term mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
Cau et al. (2026) studied this question. Right ventricular impairment in Takotsubo syndrome is associated with increased in-hospital complications, long-term mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
