Recovery of this condition varies and many patients continue to suffer from symptoms such as fatigue and breathlessness for a protracted period after their event. The purpose of this study is to establish whether following a structured exercise program or a mental wellbeing program compared to usual care for 12 weeks after an episode of Takotsubo will result in significant improvement in the brain activity, general and mental wellbeing of patients.', 'detailedDescription': 'Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterised by sudden onset left ventricular dysfunction precipitated by major stress. This neuro-cardiac condition has a 5-year morbidity and mortality comparable with acute myocardial infarction and no current therapies exist. The psycho-somatic basis of Takotsubo suggests that its neuro-biology could be amenable to modulation. Here, the investigators propose a mechanistic three-arm pilot feasibility trial of standardised physical exercise training, cognitive behavioural therapy and current standard of care in patients who suffered a very recent episode of takotsubo cardiomyopathy.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the previous three weeks\n* Participant who is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.\n* Participant who is willing to travel to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for the study visits.\n* Healthy volunteers (for blood and saliva samples only) willing to give informed consent for participation in the study.
