Guidelines for Takotsubo Syndrome

Guidelines for Takotsubo Syndrome, also known as stress cardiomyopathy, recommend accurate diagnosis through clinical assessment, imaging, and ruling out heart attacks. Treatment focuses on supportive care, including medications for heart failure or blood pressure, and managing stress triggers. Most patients recover fully within weeks, but follow-up is important to monitor heart health. Emotional or physical stress often triggers it, so addressing these factors is also key. Education about recognizing symptoms and early medical attention improves outcomes. These guidelines aim to ensure effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of complications related to this temporary but serious heart condition.
