Impact of migraine headaches on stress induced ‘Takotsubo’ cardiomyopathy.
Authors
Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is an acute left ventricular dysfunction, typically due to a neuro-cardiogenic mechanism. Although many stressors can precipitate TCM, the role of migraines in hospitalized TCM patients has not been studied. Our objective is to describe the in-hospital outcomes of TCM in patients with a concurrent diagnosis of migraines.
