Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure predicts in-hospital outcomes in takotsubo syndrome
Aims: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is associated to serious adverse in-hospital complications. We evaluated the role of invasively assessed left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) for predicting in-hospital complications in TTS patients compared to ...
