Abstract

Although prognosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is generally thought to be favorable, the initial presentation can be accompanied by various complications, including life-threatening arrhythmias. Previously, the prevalence of ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), or complete atrioventricular (AV) block was reported to be approximately 8%, mostly in the setting of QT prolongation 1, 2. However, data regarding the exact prevalence, optimal management, and prognostic relevance of arrhythmias in TTC patients are lacking.
