Abstract
BACKGROUND
Emotional stress is a common precipitating cause of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC). Preexisting psychiatric disorder (PD) was linked to worsening outcomes in patients with TC1,2. However, there is limited data in literature to support this. This study aimed to determine the differences in outcomes in TC patients with and without PD.
METHODS
We identified all patients with a diagnosis of TC using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and the National Readmission Database (NRD) data from 2016 to 2018. The patients were separated into TC with PD group and TC without PD group. Multiple variable logistic regression was then performed.
RESULTS
Using NIS 2016-2018, we identified 23,220 patients with TC, and 43.11% had PD. The mean age was 66.73 ± 12.74 years, with 90.42% being female sex. The TC with PD group had a higher 30-readmission rate 1.25 (95% CI:1.06-1.47), Cardiogenic shock [aOR = 7.3 (95%CI 3.97-13.6), Mechanical ventilation [aOR = 4.2 (95%CI 2.4-7.5), Cardiac arrest [aOR = 2.6 (95%CI 1.1-6.3), than TC without PD group.
CONCLUSION
Psychiatric disorders were found in up to 43% of patients with TC. The concomitant PD in TC patients was not associated with increased mortality, AKI, but had higher rates of cardiogenic shock, use of mechanical ventilation and cardiac arrest. The TC group with PD was also associated with increased 30-day readmission, LOS and total charges compared to TC patients without PD.
