Beta-Blockers and Long-Term Mortality in Takotsubo Syndrome
Background
Beta-blockers are considered a reasonable therapy for patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), commonly used despite the absence of consistent evidence about its prognosis impact.
Objectives
This study aimed to assess the impact of beta-blocker therapy on long-term mortality and TTS recurrence.
Methods
The authors analyzed 2,853 patients discharged with a confirmed TTS diagnosis, enrolled in the international multicenter GEIST (The GErman Italian Spanish Takotsubo Registry). They performed a propensity score matching analysis to draw up 2 groups of 697 patients paired according to whether or not they received medical therapy with beta-blockers at hospital discharge. The prognostic value of beta-blockers at discharge to predict mortality and TTS recurrence during follow-up was analyzed using Cox regression.
Results
During a mean follow-up of 2.6 years, 485 patients (17.0%) died and 97 (3.4%) have had TTS recurrence. Patients treated with beta-blockers at discharge (n = 2,125) (74.5%) had a lower mortality rate (6.0 vs 8.1 per 100 patients/year). After propensity score matching, the authors found that mortality during follow-up was lower in the beta-blocker group (HR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.55-0.90). Differences in mortality were especially at the expense of mortality in the first year. No differences were found by subgroups. Moreover, beta-blocker therapy was not associated with lower TTS recurrence during the follow-up (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.61-1.89). No association between the use of beta-blockers at discharge and left ventricle ejection fraction recovery has also been observed.
Conclusions
Beta-blocker therapy in patients with TTS is associated with lower follow-up mortality, but not with lower TTS recurrence. (The GErman Italian Spanish Takotsubo Registry [GEIST]; NCT04361994)
期刊介绍:
JACC: Heart Failure publishes crucial findings on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and care of heart failure patients. The goal is to enhance understanding through timely scientific communication on disease, clinical trials, outcomes, and therapeutic advances. The Journal fosters interdisciplinary connections with neuroscience, pulmonary medicine, nephrology, electrophysiology, and surgery related to heart failure. It also covers articles on pharmacogenetics, biomarkers, and metabolomics.
