Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a well described entity characterized by transient and reversible left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Primary TC is triggered by psychological or emotional stress, whereas secondary TC could be due to trauma, surgery or medications. We aimed to compare outcomes in primary TC and secondary TC in cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively identified 80 patients who presented with TC to MD Anderson between December 2008 and January 2019. Baseline characteristics were obtained. We identified the triggers leading to TC. Univariate analysis was done using Cox regression. Kaplan Meier method (KM) was used to compare survival based …

Purpose. To evaluate changes in walk test performance and blood pressure (BP) responses following a 12-week exercise-based outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. Methods. Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and resting systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), post-6MWT heart rate (HR), and post-6MWT BPs were measured before and after CR in 311 (237 men,74 women) patients. Using age as a covariate, 2 by 2 (Gender × Measurement) ANCOVAs were used to determine differences in 6MWT performance and hemodynamic variables. Results. After adjusting for age, men covered a greater 6MWT distance than women; pre-CR versus post-CR program values are as follows: men, 429.3 …
