Establishing the Incidence of Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy in Scotland
This study in Scotland looks at a heart condition called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which acts like a heart attack but isn't. Researchers are finding out how many people have it, what causes it, and how they recover, comparing them to people who've had heart attacks and healthy individuals.

Is There a Genetic Predisposition for Acute Stress-induced (Takotsubo) Cardiomyopathy
This study looks into whether 'broken heart syndrome' (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) can be passed down in families through genes. Researchers will collect blood samples to understand why some people might be more likely to get this condition after stress.

Manganese-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
This study looks into 'broken heart syndrome' (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) to understand why it happens and how different heart medicines affect it. Researchers use special MRI scans with a dye called manganese to see changes in the heart and how treatments might help.

A randomised controlled trial to find out whether people with takotsubo cardiomyopathy should be prescribed a drug commonly used to relax blood vessels (renin angiotensin system inhibitors)
This study looks at whether common blood pressure drugs (RAS inhibitors) can help people who have had Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a heart condition often caused by stress. It aims to see if these drugs can prevent serious problems like heart attacks or strokes in the future.
