“…TACCO patients exhibited fewer routine discharges, longer hospital stays, and higher median hospital costs, thereby indicating that TTS-related composite cardiovascular outcomes escalate resource usage and healthcare expenditures. Seasonal variations, especially winter periods and other extreme weather conditions such as typhoon landfalls and earthquakes, showed increased hospitalizations with associated comorbidities such as AF, VTE, and MI [ 28 , 29 ]. This may be linked to increased physical, psychological, and emotional stresses due to the activation of sympathetic responses.…”

The association of traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors with outcomes of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is not well-defined. This study examined how modifiable CVD risk factors affect composite cardiovascular outcomes in TTS hospitalizations. TTS admissions were identified using ICD-10 codes and compared for demographics and comorbidities using the 2019 National Inpatient Sample. A multivariable regression examined the association of traditional CVD risk variables with adverse composite cardiovascular outcomes in TTS, controlling for confounders including sociodemographic or hospital-level characteristics and other relevant comorbidities. A total of 16,055 (38.1%) of the 41,855 adult TTS admissions had composite cardiovascular outcomes (TACCO). The TACCO cohort was 81.5% white, 77.3% female, and 72 years old. This group had higher rates of diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). The results showed that a higher prevalence of diabetes with chronic complications (OR = 1.18) and complicated hypertension (HTN) (OR = 1.1) predicted TACCO, whereas tobacco use disorder (OR = 0.84), hyperlipidemia (OR = 0.76), and uncomplicated HTN (OR = 0.65) (p < 0.001) showed a paradoxical effect with TACCO. TACCO had fewer routine discharges (35.3% vs. 63.4%), longer stays (6 vs. 3 days), and higher median hospital costs (78,309 USD vs. 44,966 USD). This population-based study found that complicated HTN and DM with chronic complications are strongly associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in TTS hospitalizations. But still, some risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia and uncomplicated HTN, have counterintuitive effects that require further evaluation. To prevent cardiac events in TTS patients, traditional CVD risk factors must be addressed.
