Differentiation of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy from ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Activated for Fast-Track Coronary Angiography.

Conclusion: In patients activated for fast-track coronary angiography because of acute coronary ST-segment elevation syndrome, a number of clinical and ECG features differ between TC patients and patients with true STEMI. Our proposed point scoring model that uses clinical and ECG findings demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy in differentiating TC from acute anterior STEMI. PMID: 29927202 [PubMed - in process]
