Recruiting · Not specified · Sahlgrenska University Hospital · registry updated 2026-09-17
Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate to what extent acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) triggers Takotsubo-stunning, and how this affects the outcome for these patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is cumulative incidence of Takotsubo-stunning in patients hospitalized for AE-COPD at Sahlgrenska University Hospital/S (Gothenburg, Sweden)? 2. Among patients hospitalized for AE-COPD at Sahlgrenska University Hospital/S, what is the risk of in-hospital clinical manifestations of acute heart failure in patients with Takotsubo-stunning compared to those without?
Inclusion

- Inclusion within 72 hours of admission,
- Written informed consent
Exclusion
- Prior acute myocardial infarction or known pre-existing persistent regional wall motion abnormality or left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction \[LVEF\] \<50%)
- Expected inability to comply with the protocol (e.g. dementia)
