BACKGROUND: The impact on age on the short-term and long-term prognosis in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is unclear. We aimed to evaluate whether age has prognostic implications during hospital stay and long-term follow-up of TTS patients.

METHODS: 688 consecutive patients were admitted for TTS in 7 tertiary centers from January-2008 to June-2021. We divided our cohort into two groups (patients <75 years and ≥75 years). Clinical, analytical, and hemodynamic variables as well as in-hospital management were registered and compared between groups. Mortality rates during hospital stay and follow-up were assessed. Adverse cardiovascular events (ACE) were defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, heart failure event, acute myocardial infarction, stroke and symptomatic arrhythmia.

RESULTS: Median age was 74.7 years and 49.4 % were ≥75 years. 86.9 % were women and 22.3 % were secondary forms of TTS. In-hospital mortality was 3.6 % (1.5 % cardiovascular). Median clinical follow-up was 4.3 years. Mortality during the follow-up period was 23 % (5.0 % cardiovascular) while ACE were 22.5 %, mainly due to heart failure events. Kaplan-Meier curves showed both higher rates of mortality and ACE in ≥75 years group (30.2 % vs 15.8 %; p < 0.001 and 28.3 % vs 16.7 %; p < 0.001). Age was independently associated with higher rates of overall mortality and ACE in patients with TTS. Hypertension, absence of sinus rhythm, Killip class > I and a more impaired coronary microvascular resistance were also associated to ACE in TTS patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Advanced age was associated with higher rate of overall mortality and ACE during long-term follow-up in TTS patients.
