ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Con el objetivo de describir las características clínicas y complicaciones del síndrome de Takotsubo, se realizó un estudio de serie de casos de pacientes que ingresaron con esta patología al Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular-INCOR en Lima-Perú, entre enero de 2013 a diciembre de 2018. Se incluyeron 26 pacientes, con una edad promedio de 69 años y predominio del sexo femenino (96,2%), además un desencadenante se identificó en 23 casos (88,5%). En el electrocardiograma, el 61,5% tuvo supradesnivel del segmento ST; y en la evolución el 92,3% mostró ondas T negativas y el 38,5% un intervalo QTc >500 ms. Las complicaciones intrahospitalarias fueron choque cardiogénico (11,5%), fibrilación auricular (7,7%) y taquicardia ventricular (7,7%). En esta serie, el síndrome de Takotsubo predominó en mujeres posmenopáusicas, generalmente desencadenado por un factor estresante, con una baja tasa de complicaciones y ausencia de mortalidad intrahospitalaria.


ABSTRACT In order to describe the clinical features and complications of Takotsubo syndrome, a case series study was conducted with patients admitted with this pathology to the National Cardiovascular Institute-INCOR in Lima-Peru between January 2013 and December 2018. Twenty-six patients (26) were included, with an average age of 69 years and female predominance (96.2%); additionally, a trigger was identified in 23 cases (88.5%). In the electrocardiogram, 61.5% had ST segment elevation; and, in the evolution, 92.3% showed negative T waves and 38.5% a QTc interval >500 ms. In-hospital complications were cardiogenic shock (11.5%), atrial fibrillation (7.7%) and ventricular tachycardia (7.7%). In this series, Takotsubo syndrome predominated in postmenopausal women, usually triggered by a stressor, with a low complication rate and no in-hospital mortality.
