Genetic study for stress-related heart muscle weakness
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for a possible inherited (genetic) reason some people develop Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after severe stress. If you’ve had this condition, the study may help explain why it happens and whether families could be at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Takotsubo (stress-related) cardiomyopathy
- Your diagnosis was in Scotland sometime from 2010 to today
- If you were diagnosed outside Scotland, you must have a family history and be willing to join
- You must be willing to participate in the study

This study aims to measure how many people in Scotland develop Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (a temporary heart condition often triggered by stress or illness). It may help doctors better understand who is affected and plan care in the future.
This study enrolls people who have been diagnosed with Takotsubo (a temporary, stress-related heart condition). It aims to better understand Takotsubo by collecting your medical records and analyzing proteins, which may help improve care in the future.
This study uses MRI to learn more about Takotsubo syndrome (a temporary heart condition often triggered by stress). If you have been diagnosed with Takotsubo and have had certain heart tests, you may be able to join.
This study is a patient registry that collects information from people diagnosed with Takotsubo syndrome, also known as a stress-related heart condition. It may help researchers learn more about who is affected and how the condition behaves over time.
This study looks at Takotsubo (also called stress cardiomyopathy) and heart problems caused by sepsis using specialized heart imaging (including PET). The goal is to better understand what triggers these conditions and how the heart is affected, which may improve diagnosis and care.
This trial studies a psychosocial (emotional and coping) support approach for adults with Takotsubo syndrome. It may help patients deal with stress, anxiety, or adjustment related to the condition.
