Neurally mediated reflex syncope (NMRS) has been recently described as a possible trigger of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). There are few data in the literature about this association.
In the present meta-summary, 6 case reports describing patients who experienced TTS following an NMRS episode were included. Patient characteristics, triggers and type of syncope were collected.
A total of 7 patients with a median age of 63.4 years (interquartile range, IQR: 47.5-76) were evaluated; 71.4% were females, mainly in the menopausal state (80%). The TTS triggers were: vasovagal syncope in 6 patients (85.7%) and situational syncope in 1 patient (14.3%). 2 patients underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation which showed a cardioinhibitory response.
NMRS due to sudden orthostatism and emotional stress, mainly with a cardioinhibitory response, has been associated with the onset of TTS, in particular among female patients in a menopausal state.
神经介导的反射性晕厥(NMRS)最近被描述为应激性心肌病(TTS)的一种可能诱因。关于这种关联,文献中的数据很少。
在本荟萃综述中,纳入了6例描述NMRS发作后发生TTS患者的病例报告。收集了患者的特征、诱因和晕厥类型。
共评估了7例患者,中位年龄为63.4岁(四分位间距,IQR:47.5 - 76);71.4%为女性,主要处于绝经状态(80%)。TTS的诱因包括:6例患者为血管迷走性晕厥(85.7%),1例患者为情境性晕厥(14.3%)。2例患者接受了全面的临床评估,显示为心脏抑制反应。
由突然直立和情绪应激引起的NMRS,主要表现为心脏抑制反应,与TTS的发作有关,尤其是在绝经状态的女性患者中。
