Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Originally diagnosed as a heart attack and then Heart Failure. Does anyone have experience of this condition?

After an MRI scan my consultant has given a diagnosis of

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

If you search BHF posts for Takotsubo you will find quite a few threads about the condition.

Pandor,

If you are on Facebook, there is an extremely helpful and supportive group where you will get loads of information and advice. It's called Takotsubo Support Group. It's mentioned on the BHF site too.

Hello Pandor,

Cardiomyopathy UK has some information about Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.

Perhaps give their helpline a call and speak to one of their nurses?
