Summary

This study tests if the drug cyclosporine can reduce heart muscle damage in people with Takotsubo syndrome, also known as broken heart syndrome. About 204 adults at high risk for complications will receive either cyclosporine or a placebo shortly after diagnosis. Researchers will measure heart injury and function over a year to see if the drug helps the heart recover better.
