Myriads of physical stress factors including pheochromocytoma have been reported triggering takotsubo syndrome (TS). The aim of this study was to report on the clinical features and outcome of pheochromocytoma-induced TS (Pheo-TS) in a large cohort of patients. Eighty published cases of Pheo-TS were retrieved from the literature and compared with 1,750 cases of all patients with TS (All-TS) published recently by Templin et al. Patients with Pheo-TS were on average 19.87 years younger than those with All-TS (p <0.0001). The women were still predominating in Pheo-TS but significantly in a lower percentage (70% in Pheo-TS vs 89.8% in All-TS, p <0.00001). Almost 1/3 (30%) of Pheo-TS cases had basal TS pattern compared with 2.2% of cases in All-TS (p <0.00001) and 1/5 (20%) had global TS compared with no cases in All-TS. Two thirds of Pheo-TS cases (67.9%) developed complications, which was significantly higher than complication rates in All-TS (21.8%), but there was no difference in the inhospital mortality between the 2 studies. The most important risk factors for the development of complications in Pheo-TS were age <50 years and global and basal TS localization patterns. The recurrence rate of 17.7% in Pheo-TS was significantly higher than the 3.26% in All-TS (p <0.00001). In conclusion, Pheo-TS is characterized by a dramatic clinical presentation with high complication rates and relatively high recurrence rate. Patients with Pheo-TS are significantly younger than All-TS. The TS localization pattern in Pheo-TS differed significantly from All-TS with basal pattern in almost 1/3 of cases and global pattern in 1/5 of the cases.
