CT indicates computed tomography; TT indicates transthoracic; ECG indicates electrocardiogramm; TCCD indicates transcranial color-coded duplex sonography.

Fig 2.
Differences in cardiac troponin T (CTNT) between study groups from day 1 to 7.
Boxplots show the median, upper and lower quartiles, and minimum and maximum values, with outliers omitted for clarity. Differences are highly significant each day (p<0.001).
Fig 3.
Differences in N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NTPBNP) between study groups from day 1 to 7.
Boxplots show the median, upper and lower quartiles, and minimum and maximum values, with outliers omitted for clarity. Differences are highly significant each day (p<0.001).
Fig 4.
Urine normetanephrin levels on the day of admission (A) and 30 days later (B), and the effect of norepinephrine (arterenol) (C) and dobutamin (dobutrex) (D) on normetanephrin concentrations on the day of admission.
Boxplots show datapoints (black dots jittered and outliers omitted for clarity), median, upper and lower quartiles, and minimum and maximum values; red dots indicate means. Shaded areas in C and D indicate 95% confidence intervals. Note that the scales are different on the ordinates; on the day of admission (A), median normetanephrine concentration is 7-fold higher in the severe TTC group.
Fig 5.
Differences in ejection fraction (%) (A-D) and wall motion score index (E-H) in the study groups on day 1, day 7, day 30 and day 180.
Boxplots show datapoints (black dots; jittered and outliers omitted for clarity), median, upper and lower quartiles, and minimum and maximum values; red dots indicate means.
Fig 6.
Differences in GOS, Barthel and Karnofsky scores between study groups at the first check-up at 30 days (A-) and the second check-up at 180 days (D-F).
Boxplots show datapoints (black dots; jittered and outliers omitted for clarity), median, upper and lower quartiles, and minimum and maximum values; red dots indicate means.
