Beta-blockers for recent Takotsubo syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving beta-blockers (medicines that slow the heart and reduce stress) soon after a Takotsubo syndrome diagnosis can improve recovery of heart function. It aims to see if this common heart medication helps people with this specific stress-induced heart condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Takotsubo syndrome, and doctors must have confirmed your heart arteries are not significantly blocked (via an angiogram).
- Your Takotsubo diagnosis must be within the last 48 hours.
- You cannot currently be in cardiogenic shock or have severe unstable blood pressure.
- You cannot have a very high pressure gradient inside the heart (over 30 mmHg).
- You must not have had severe heart valve disease, a prior heart attack from blocked arteries, or other major heart problems before.
- You cannot be taking beta-blocker medication or have a medical reason that makes beta-blockers unsafe for you.

This trial studies whether cyclosporine, an immune-related medicine, can improve outcomes in Takotsubo syndrome (a temporary heart muscle problem). It aims to start treatment very soon after a heart catheter test to help the heart recover.
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.
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 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 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 a special MRI with a contrast agent called manganese to look at how the heart works in people with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken heart syndrome). It may help doctors understand why this condition happens and how to treat it better.
