Abstract Aims Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute heart failure (AHF) syndrome mimicking the symptoms of acute myocardial infarction. Impaired outcome has been shown, making risk stratification and novel therapeutic concepts a necessity. We hypothesized insulin resistance with elevated plasma glucose and potentially myocardial glucose deprivation to contribute to the pathogenesis of TTS and investigated the therapeutic benefit of insulin in vivo. Methods and results First, we retrospectively analysed patient data of n = 265 TTS cases (85.7% female, mean age 71.1 ± 14.1 years) with documented initial plasma glucose from the Department of Cardiology of the University Hospital Heidelberg in Germany (May 2011 to May 2021). Median split of the study population according to glucose levels (≤123 mg/dL vs. >123 mg/dL) yielded significantly elevated mean heart rate (80.75 ± 18.96 vs. 90.01 ± 22.19 b.p.m., P |
