View the official record on ClinicalTrials.gov →What this trial is about
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?
