Abstract
Background: takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute heart failure syndrome characterized by a relevant comorbid background, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, TTS patients with COPD are still not well characterized.
Aim: to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with TTS and COPD.
Methods: n = 440 TTS patients were dichotomized according to the presence of COPD. Endpoint of the study were in-hospital complications (composite of death, major arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock and acute pulmonary edema), TTS recurrence and long-term mortality at follow-up.
Results: mean age of the population was 72±11, 10 % males. COPD prevalence was 16 % (n = 69). On subgroup analysis, patients with COPD were more likely smokers (41 % vs 13 %, p < 0.001), with higher rates of dyspnea and physical triggers at presentation (52 % vs 18 %, p < 0.001 and 52 % vs 32 %, p = 0.001 respectively) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (36 % vs 39 %, p = 0.035) In-hospital complications were more common in patients with COPD (26 % vs 13 %, p = 0.006), driven by higher rates of acute pulmonary edema (19 % vs 6 %, p < 0.001) and cardiogenic shock (10 % vs 4 %, p = 0.023). At multivariable logistic regression analysis, COPD was independently associated with in-hospital complications occurrence (Odds Ratio 2.10, 95 % CI 1.09-4.05; p = 0.027). At univariable Cox regression analysis COPD was associated with TTS recurrence (Hazard Ratio (HR 9.82, 95 % CI 3.2-30.12; p < 0.001)), at multivariable Cox regression analysis with long-term mortality (HR 2.97, 95 % CI 1.44-6.12; p = 0.003).
Conclusion: COPD marks a vulnerable TTS phenotype including higher risk of in-hospital complications, long-term recurrence and mortality.

The European Journal of Internal Medicine serves as the official journal of the European Federation of Internal Medicine and is the primary scientific reference for European academic and non-academic internists. It is dedicated to advancing science and practice in internal medicine across Europe. The journal publishes original articles, editorials, reviews, internal medicine flashcards, and other relevant information in the field. Both translational medicine and clinical studies are emphasized. EJIM aspires to be a leading platform for excellent clinical studies, with a focus on enhancing the quality of healthcare in European hospitals.
