What this Trial Is About

Researchers are gathering information from patients with Takotsubo syndrome in an international and multicenter registry called GEIST. This registry aims to better understand the disease by collecting detailed data on patients' demographics, clinical signs, laboratory results, heart imaging and tests, treatments, hospital course, complications, and outcomes over both short and long terms. The study collects data during the patients' hospital stays and continues with follow-up through structured telephone interviews for those not regularly seen at study centers. It includes both past patient data collected retrospectively and new patients enrolled prospectively. This ongoing registry allows for continuous data collection to capture the clinical course and outcomes of Takotsubo syndrome. Participants contribute data that include clinical profiles, heart tests, treatments, and complications. Researchers monitor outcomes such as all-cause mortality at 0 days, 3 months, and 6 months, as well as in-hospital complications. Long-term follow-up helps track patient health beyond hospitalization, with the total study duration extending through December 2035.
