ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
- Establishing the Incidence of Tako-tsubo Cardiomyopathy in Scotland — Recruiting • Cardiology / Cardiovascular • NCT03299569.
- Study Focus: This research establishes the true incidence and epidemiology of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (stress-induced cardiomyopathy) across Scotland, a condition that mimics acute myocardial infarction but occurs with unobstructed coronary arteries following intense emotional or physical stressors.
- Patient Eligibility: The trial includes patients presenting acutely with suspected acute coronary syndrome or heart attack symptoms in Scotland, with diagnosis confirmed through cardiac imaging showing characteristic Takotsubo features (typically apical ballooning) and angiographically normal coronary arteries.

What This Trial Is Studying
Acute stress-induced (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) presents like a heart attack and is triggered by intense emotional or physical stress. Although coronary arteries are unobstructed, it has been suggested that the risk of death is similar to a myocardial infarction. The purpose of the STARR study is to identify all cases of Takotsubo in Scotland since 2010 and assess its epidemiology and outcomes.
