About Us

 

The Takotsubo Network is an international group of health professionals, researchers, and people who have experienced Takotsubo syndrome.  We aim to foster engagement between health professionals, researchers and people who have experienced Takotsubo syndrome to promote best practice and patient-centred care. We also aim to raise awareness of Takotsubo syndrome for the broader community.
