Cardiomyopathie de Takotsubo secondaire à des évènements cérébraux aigus
Introduction La cardiomyopathie de Takotsubo est caracterisee par une dysfonction ventriculaire apicale transitoire typiquement induite par un stress. Les evenements neurologiques aigus comme les infarctus cerebraux (IC) ou les crises epileptiques (CE) peuvent etre associes avec un relargage massif de catecholamines. Objectifs Notre objectif etait d’identifier les caracteristiques et l’evolution des patients ayant presente un syndrome de Takotsubo compliquant un IC ou une CE. Methodes Entre 2008 et 2013, 87 patients furent admis dans notre unite de soins intensifs pour une suspicion de syndrome de Takotsubo. Parmi eux, 6 ont presente un IC ou une CE dans les deux jours precedents. Le syndro…
Prevalence and prognostic value of headache on early mortality in acute stroke: The Dijon Stroke Registry
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of headache at onset and its association with 1-month mortality in stroke patients. Methods All patients with stroke in Dijon, France (2006–2011), were prospectively identified using a population-based registry. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the association between headache and 30-day all-cause mortality. Results Among 1411 stroke patients, data about headache were obtained for 1391 (98.6%) of whom 1185 had an ischemic stroke (IS), 201 had an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and five had a stroke of undetermined etiology. Headache was found in 253 (18.2%) patients and was more frequent in those with ICH than in those with IS (46.3% vs 13.5%, …
0137 : Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following acute cerebral events
International audience; ObjectiveTakotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by a transient apical ventricular dysfunction typically induced by an acute stress. Acute cerebral events including ischemic stroke (IS) or Epileptic Event (EE) may both be associated with massive catecholamine release. We aimed to identify the characteristics and outcomes of patients who experienced Takotsubo syndrome complicating an IS or EE.MethodsBetween 2008 and 2013, 87 patients were admitted in our Intensive Care Unit for suspected Takotsubo syndrome, of whom 6 previously experienced acute cerebral symptoms with either IS or EE, within two days. Takotsubo syndrome was diagnosed on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance, e…
