Effects of cardiovascular risk factors and pre-existing diseases on the short-term outcome of Takotsubo syndrome.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe effects of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) on the development of most acute cardiac conditions are well established; however, little is known about the frequency and effects of CVRF in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) patients.
objectiveThe aim of our study was to compare the frequency of CVRF and pre-existing diseases (PD) of TTS patients to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and analyze their effects on short-term outcome.
methodsWe analyzed the frequency of CVRF (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes mellitus, smoking, chronic kidney disease, family history) as well as somatic and psychiatric PD at admission in TTS patients and compared them with STEMI patients. Their effect on short-term outcome was calculated using a combined endpoint of cardiogenic shock, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, and/or in-hospital death.
resultsIn total, 150 TTS and 155 STEMI patients were included in our study. We observed a higher frequency of psychiatric (30% vs. 7%, p < 0.001), neurological (5% vs. 0%, p = 0.01), and pulmonary (18% vs. 5%, p < 0.001) PD in TTS patients as compared to STEMI patients. There were less smokers (47% vs. 61%, p = 0.03) and patients with hyperlipidemia (24% vs. 51%, p < 0.001) in the TTS cohort than in the STEMI cohort. None of the CVRF or PD behaved as an independent predictor for adverse short-term outcome in TTS patients.
conclusionPsychiatric, neurological, and pulmonary pre-existing diseases are more common in TTS than in STEMI patients. Interestingly, PD and CVRF do not seem to have any impact on the short-term outcome of TTS patients.
