In the past decades, takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) has emerged as a specific form of acute and transient myocardial disease, predominantly affecting postmenopausal women in the clinical setting.1–4 In general, myocardial involvement in this setting appears to harbour a regional pattern particularly extending beyond the territory of a single coronary artery (and usually without concomitant…

Advances in the early detection and treatment of cancer have improved overall survival in cancer patients. Nevertheless, cardiovascular diseases appear as the major cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors.1 Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and/or heart failure are the most common cardiovascular complications after administration of chemotherapies. The term ‘cardiotoxicity’ is…

Patients with a broad range of systemic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis) are exceptionally prone to cardiovascular disorders, but previous work concerning the development of heart disease in these individuals has largely focused on the risk of MI.
However, the most important cardiovascular…

Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common reasons for admission to hospital. It is associated with long in-patient stays, and has a high in-hospital and post-discharge morbidity and mortality, whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is reduced (HFREF) or normal (HeFNEF).1,2 Congestion, or fluid overload, is a classic clinical feature of patients presenting with HF. In some patients,…

Heart disease and cancer are the two leading causes of death, together accounting for almost 50 % of deaths in the US.1 Unfortunately, the tremendous success in improving cancer survival is often attenuated by downstream cardiovascular complications from cancer therapy. Acute cardiac toxicity may limit the ability to use life-saving cancer therapy and chronic toxicity limits overall survival. As…

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome induced by cardiac abnormalities resulting in reduced cardiac output and/or elevated intra-cardiac end-diastolic pressures and causing symptoms that are often accompanied by typical physical signs.1 Demographic changes, improved treatment of several acute cardiac disorders, such myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and congenital heart disease, and increased long…
