Magnitude, Patterns, and Associated Predictors of Cardiovascular Events in Tetanus: A 2-Year, Single-Center, Ambidirectional Cohort Study Involving 572 Patients.

CEs are not rare and associated with high mortality. The most common CE is Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. CEs can occur at any stage of illness, with or without ANSD. To prevent mortality, it is pivotal to screen CEs in patients with tetanus, especially those with underlying diseases, high modified Ablett scores, and a normal or low BMI. More studies are needed to fully elucidate the impact of ANSD on the cardiovascular function and the CE associated mortality in tetanus.
