Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is an established differential diagnosis of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronaries with significant interest but limited data on prognostication. We reviewed the characteristics and in-hospital outcomes and developed a novel risk score for TC. to 1.66), p<0.001).

Background:Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), and the severity of OSA appears to worsen following septal myoectomy. The proportion of coronary artery bypass graft and valvular intervention were comparable between patients with and without OSA.

In most cases, rather, the culprit is gross ischemia due to myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or advanced coronary artery disease. Unfortunately, today’s case is lacking any such diagnostics, thus I cannot say with certainty that the QT interval is, or is not, culpable in arrhythmogenesis. [1]
