Abstract
Acute Cerebral Disease Triggering Takotsubo
Highlights
We do not agree with the statement that little is known about cerebral diseases other than subarachnoid bleeding, which may trigger Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) [1]
It is unclear if TTS was the indication for admission to the neurological intensive care unit (NICU) or if the patients experienced TTS during their stay in the NICU
How many of the patients were under artificial ventilation and how was TTS recognised in this cohort?
Summary
We do not agree with the statement that little is known about cerebral diseases other than subarachnoid bleeding, which may trigger TTS [1]. It is unclear if TTS was the indication for admission to the NICU or if the patients experienced TTS during their stay in the NICU. In case they all developed TTS after admission, we should be informed which cardiac manifestations led the treating physicians to suspect TTS. How many of the patients were under artificial ventilation and how was TTS recognised in this cohort?
