Incidence of takotsubo syndrome in patients with acute coronary syndrome: a single PCI center experience - a 7-years retrospective analysis

Abstract

cording to ECG, there were 9 (43 %) STEMI and 12 (57 %) NSTEMI cases. The mean value of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 47 ± 9.1 % (35-65 %). After one month, a complete restoration of LVEF was found in all patients undergoing follow-up (86 %) with a mean LVEF of 63.5 ± 8.9 % (50-80 %). None of the patients died within one month after the diagnosis of TS syndrome. Conclusion: Our experience confirms a low incidence of TS in patients with ACS. However, our study population is too small to obtain a valid conclusion on short-term prognosis.
