Takotsubo syndrome is associated with life threatening arrhythmias, and the apical ballooning pattern is characterized by a peculiar QT prolongation and particularly high-risk of arrhythmias.The aim of the study was to determine the association of QT interval on electrocardiogram for ventricular arrhythmic complications in patients with apical ballooning Takotsubo syndrome in a diverse population at a large urban hospital in the U.S.We reviewed 105 cases of apical ballooning Takotsubo syndrome in patients admitted between 2011 and 2017. Two cardiologists reviewed the electrocardiograms to measure QT interval, adjusted for rate using the Fridericia formula (QTOf the 105 patients, 86 (82%) were female, and 34 (32%) were self-reported Black or African American. The mean age was 65 years (range: 58-72 years). Left ventricular ejection fraction was 25% (range: 25%-35%). Heart rate was 101 beats/min (range: 83-121 beats/min). Ten (11%) patients experienced a ventricular arrhythmic complication and had significantly longer QTIn a diverse population of patients with apical ballooning Takotsubo syndrome admitted to a large urban hospital in the United States, QT |
