Previous studies revealed that patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have a higher mortality rate than the general population and a comparable mortality to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Repolarisation abnormalities, namely T-wave amplitude, may provide incremental prognostic information, in addition to traditional risk factors in ACS. This study was performed to determine the short- and long-term prognostic impact of inverted T-waves in TTS patients, as compared to ACS patients.
Our institutional database constituted a collective of 138 patients diagnosed with TTS from 2003 to 2017, as well as 532 patients suffering from ACS. Patients with TTS or with ACS (n = 138 per group) were matched for age and sex and assessed retrospectively and prospectively and divided into two groups, TTS with inverted T-waves (n = 123) and ACS with inverted T-waves (n = 80). In-hospital complications such as respiratory failure with the need of respiratory support (60.2% vs 6.3%; P < 0.01), thromboembolic events (13.8% vs 2.5%; P < 0.01) and cardiogenic shock (18.9% vs 8.8%; P = 0.05) were significantly more presented in TTS as compared to ACS patients. Among cardiovascular risk factors diabetes mellitus (23.6% vs 45.0%; P < 0.01) and arterial hypertension (57.7% vs 78.8%; P < 0.01) were more presented in ACS patients as compared to TTS patients. Short-term mortality was similar, however the long-term mortality of 5 years was significantly higher in the TTS group (25.2% vs 7.5%; P < 0.01). In univariate analysis were male gender, EF < 35%, GFR < 60 mL/min, cardiogenic shock, inotropic drugs and history of cancer predictors of 5-year mortality. The multivariate analysis showed only male gender (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.1-6.5; P = 0.02), GFR < 60 mL/min (HR 2.8, 95% CI 1.2-6.0; P = 0.01) and history of cancer (HR 3.6, 95% CI 1.4-9.3; P < 0.01) as independent predictors of 5-year mortality.
Rates of long-term mortality were significantly higher in TTS patients showing inverted T-waves compared with patients diagnosed with ACS with inverted T-waves. However, T-inversion was not an independent predictor of 5-year mortality in the multivariate analysis.
先前的研究表明,患有 Takotsubo 综合征(TTS)的患者死亡率高于普通人群,与急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)相当。复极异常,即 T 波幅度,除了 ACS 的传统危险因素外,可能提供额外的预后信息。本研究旨在确定 TTS 患者与 ACS 患者相比,倒置 T 波的短期和长期预后影响。
我们的机构数据库由 2003 年至 2017 年间诊断为 TTS 的 138 例患者和 532 例 ACS 患者组成。将 TTS 或 ACS 患者(每组 138 例)按年龄和性别匹配,进行回顾性和前瞻性评估,并分为两组:TTS 伴倒置 T 波(n=123)和 ACS 伴倒置 T 波(n=80)。TTS 患者的住院并发症,如需要呼吸支持的呼吸衰竭(60.2%比 6.3%;P<0.01)、血栓栓塞事件(13.8%比 2.5%;P<0.01)和心源性休克(18.9%比 8.8%;P=0.05)明显多于 ACS 患者。与 TTS 患者相比,心血管危险因素糖尿病(23.6%比 45.0%;P<0.01)和动脉高血压(57.7%比 78.8%;P<0.01)在 ACS 患者中更为常见。短期死亡率相似,但 TTS 组 5 年的长期死亡率明显更高(25.2%比 7.5%;P<0.01)。单因素分析显示,男性、EF<35%、GFR<60mL/min、心源性休克、正性肌力药物和癌症史是 5 年死亡率的预测因素。多因素分析显示,只有男性(HR 2.7,95%CI 1.1-6.5;P=0.02)、GFR<60mL/min(HR 2.8,95%CI 1.2-6.0;P=0.01)和癌症史(HR 3.6,95%CI 1.4-9.3;P<0.01)是 5 年死亡率的独立预测因素。
与诊断为 ACS 伴倒置 T 波的患者相比,TTS 伴倒置 T 波患者的长期死亡率明显更高。然而,在多因素分析中,T 波倒置不是 5 年死亡率的独立预测因素。
