Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Predictors of Patients with Thromboembolic Events in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Our results confirmed the relative common occurrence of thromboembolic events in the setting of TTC. Inflammation might play an important role in the development of thromboembolic events, and a right ventricular involvement and ST-segment elevation could be positive predictors for this occurrence. In order to circumvent the risk of a negative outcome, it is recommended that an anticoagulation therapy be initiated in all high-risk patients.
