The odds ratios (ORs) of the covariates quantify their association with mortality during hospitalization. A total of 11 052 patients admitted to general ICU {incidence 2.17%; median age 72 [interquartile range (66-81)], 38.7% were women} with CS were included. Forty-seven per cent of patients had more than three organ insufficiency at the time of admission. The most common CS aetiologies were left heart failure (LHF, 5247-47.5%); acute myocardial infarction (3612-32.6%); right heart failure (RHF, 515-4.6%); and biventricular failure (532-4.8%).

The ratio of long to total cTnT (troponin ratio) was determined as a measure of cTnT fragmentation. Troponin ratio was lower in TTS patients [0.13 (0.10-0.20) vs. 0.62 (0.29-0.96), P < 0.001].
