ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the relationship between Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) and air pollution. TTS is a condition that can cause sudden heart problems, often triggered by extreme stress or serious illness, and can mimic a heart attack. Researchers want to understand if exposure to air pollution makes TTS worse or increases the chances of developing it.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with TTS. You also need to have information about your exposure to air pollutants. If you join the study, you can expect to provide consent for your data to be used while helping researchers learn more about how air pollution affects heart health. This trial is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and your involvement could contribute to important findings that may help improve treatment for TTS in the future.
