Conditions
Summary
Acute stress-induced (takotsubo) cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome presents like a heart attack, classically is triggered by intense emotional or physical stress and can have serious health consequences. In the current study the investigators wish to establish whether there is a genetic predisposition making certain people more susceptible to this condition. This could also have implications for their families.
