Long-term outcomes and worse clinical course in Takotsubo syndrome patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Our findings highlight a notable prevalence of ALS among TTS patients, with worse clinical presentation and in-hospital course in ALS-affected individuals. While in-hospital mortality rates were comparable, highlighting the reversible nature of TTS in both groups, long-term follow-up revealed significantly heightened all-cause mortality in ALS patients, emphasizing the impact of ALS on patient prognosis.
