  1. Acute Heart Failure in Apical Ballooning Syndrome (Takotsubo/Stress Cardiomyopathy)Clinical Correlates and Mayo Clinic Risk Score Malini Madhavan, MBBS; Charanjit S.

  2. Background • Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is characterized by transient regional systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease • Acute heart failure (HF) is the most common complication • Acute HF can cause significant morbidity in ABS

  3. Aims • To examine the frequency and prognosis of patients with acute HF complicating ABS • To identify the risk factors for acute HF in ABS

  4. MethodsStudy Population • Study cohort • 118 consecutive ABS patients identified between January 2002 and January 2008 • Validation cohort • 52 consecutive ABS patients identified between Feb 2008 and December 2009

  5. MethodsMayo diagnostic criteria for ABS • Transient akinesis, hypokinesis or dyskinesis of the left ventricular mid segments with or without apical involvement. The regional wall motion abnormalities extend beyond a single epicardial vascular distribution • Absence of obstructive coronary disease or angiographic evidence of acute plaque rupture, • New ECG abnormalities (either ST-segment elevation and/or T wave inversion) or elevated cardiac troponin, • The absence of pheochromocytoma or myocarditis Prasad et al. Am Heart J 155(3):408-17

  6. Methods: Definitions Acute heart failure • New onset symptoms such as dyspnea, and • At least 2 of the following physical signs - pulmonary rales, elevated central venous pressure, and the presence of a third heart sound Cardiogenic shock • Systolic blood pressure of <90 mm Hg for greater than 1 hour secondary to cardiac dysfunction associated with signs of hypoperfusion • Patients with systolic blood pressure increase to >90 mm Hg within 1 hour after administration of inotropic agents, who met other criteria for cardiogenic shock

  9. Independent Predictors of Acute HFMultivariate Analysis *Per unit change in variable

  10. Troponin T Stratified by Severity of HF

  11. Mayo Clinic Risk Score for Acute HF in ABS • One point was assigned to each of the following independent risk factors: • Age > 70 years • Presence of physical stressor • Ejection fraction < 40% • Troponin T was not included due to heterogeneity in assay and cut-off value used at different institutions

  12. Mayo Clinic Risk Score for Acute HF in ABS • Significant positive correlation between the frequency of acute HF and the risk score in the: • Development cohort – C statistic 0.77, p<0.001 • Validation cohort – C statistic 0.77, p=0.002

  13. Acute HF Stratified by Mayo Risk Score Development cohort Validation cohort

  14. Conclusions • Heart Failure is a common complication of ABS • Approximately 50% developed HF • One in five developed cardiogenic shock • Patients who developed acute HF had, • Greater myocardial injury and stunning • Greater morbidity and longer hospitalization • Prognosis is good with resolution of HF with supportive management in the majority of patients • Mortality secondary to cardiogenic shock occurred in 3 patients

  15. Conclusions • The Mayo Clinic risk score is predictive of acute HF in patients with ABS • Risk stratification using the Mayo Clinic risk score may: • Assist in triaging high risk patients to an intensive care unit for management • Allow physicians to identify patients in whom early initiation of beta-adrenergic blockers may be harmful
