Clinical Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on Short-Term Outcomes and In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Takotsubo Syndrome: A Propensity-Matched National Study
Highlights
- • Takotsubo Syndrome patients are at high risk of developing atrial fibrillation.
- • The study aims to investigate the outcomes and impact of atrial fibrillation on TS.
- • The atrial fibrillation group has no significant increase of in-hospital mortality.
- • AF group was more likely to develop cardiac arrest and lethal arrhythmias.
Abstract
Introduction
Takotsubo Syndrome (TS) patients are at high risk of developing atrial fibrillation. We sought to investigate the outcomes and economic impact of atrial fibrillation on TS patients utilizing the National Inpatient Sample.
