Takotsubo syndrome and dialysis: an uncommon association? J Int Med Res. 2018 Nov;46(11):4399-4406http://hdl.handle.net/10668/12901This review was performed to investigate the association between treatment with dialysis and Takotsubo syndrome in patients with end-stage renal disease. We systematically explored the PubMed database using the search terms "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy" and/or "stress-induced cardiomyopathy" and/or "Takotsubo syndrome" in combination with "dialysis" and "uremia." Of 3630 articles found, 8 articles reporting 10 cases were selected for analysis. Most patients were women, and their age ranged from 51 to 84 years. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were diagnosed in 40% of patients, and glomerular disease was diagnosed in 30%. One only patient was treated with peritoneal dialysis; all others were treated with hemodialysis. The outcome was unfavorable in only one patient. An association between Takotsubo syndrome and dialysis is uncommon, but not negligible, and comorbidities play a major role in determining the clinical outcome.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Takotsubo syndromeCardiomyopathyDialysisEnd-stage renal diseaseOutcomeReviewSexAgedAged, 80 and overFemaleHumansMaleMiddle agedRenal dialysisTakotsubo cardiomyopathyresearch article30178683open accessAncianoAnciano de 80 o más añosCardiomiopatía de TakotsuboDiálisis renalCardiomiopatía de Takotsubo10.1177/03000605187942491473-2300PMC6259368https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0300060518794249https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6259368/pdf
