Impaired hemodynamic response to tilt, handgrip and Valsalva manoeuvre in patients with takotsubo syndrome

Long-term β-adrenolytics treatment in takotsubo syndrome (TTS) patients is based on the premise, that TTS is strongly associated with sympathetic nervous system overactivity. The aim of the study was to establish hemodynamic response to tilt, handgrip and Valsalva manoeuvre in patients with takotsubo syndrom e compared to healthy subjects (CONTROL) and patients after ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
