Summary

This study tests whether adding resilience training—a mix of group therapy and relaxation exercises—to standard rehabilitation helps people recover from Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken heart syndrome) or a recent heart attack. Participants attend two group therapy sessions and two relaxation sessions during their inpatient rehab. The goal is to see if this extra support improves their ability to bounce back from stress and enhances quality of life.
