Hi
Here's some more information about Prof Dana Dawson who is researching into Takotsubo syndrome.
They are keeping a registry of patients.

Cardiomyopathy UK is another good source of information
cardiomyopathy.org/takotsub...
There are a few people effected by this uncommon condition on the forum and hopefully they will be able to share their experience with you.
Perhaps do a search of the previous posts on the forum.
The Cardiac nurses on the BHF helpline are a very good source of information and support too.

Good luck.
Hello,
I've had a heart attack 4 weeks ago, diagnostic angiogram two days ago, all fine , cardiologist had a chat with me afterwards and said I had a pseudo heart attack, I've looked things up and Tacotsudo describes what happened to me down to a t. I had a stressful event happen on a flight, and that's when I got chest pain. I'm on a range of meds now, for how long I dont know. Cardiologist said my mild LVSD will mend in time also. Have you done any reading about this, if not you should, its quite fascinating . Let me know how you get on.
Sarah.
