YES
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also called broken heart syndrome, is typically reported in the setting of emotional and/or physiological stress. The exact pathophysiology of TCM is poorly understood. Nevertheless altered autonomic nervous regulation, and in consequence, over excretion of catecholamines may play an important role in triggering the syndrome.
Others
We will determine if TCM patients have an excess sympathetic nerve activity and/or overstated sympathetic response to stress compared to healthy subjects. Also we will assess the susceptibility of having an exaggerated sympathetic response to stress upon polymorphisms of the adrenoceptors.
Exploratory
Explanatory
Not applicable
The primary outcome is plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine during the stress test between TCM and healthy subjects.
The secondly outcome is blood pressure, heart rate, indexes of autonomic function test and genetic polymorphisms of adrenoceptors between TCM and control subjects.

We will assess the stress reaction after we perform the standard autonomic function test of participants.
All the medications which might affect the autonomic nervous system were withheld for at least five times the elimination half-life before the studies. Continuous blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) measurements were obtained using an automated oscillometric sphygmomanometer and tonometry (BP-608 Evolution II, Omron Colin Corporation). An antecubital vein will be cannulated for blood sampling of plasma catecholamines and cortisol before and after stress loading tests, namely speech test and mental calculation test. Continuous HR and BP during the tests will be recorded. The order of mental calculation test and speech test will be randomized to avoid order effect.
Subjects will be asked to begin with 1000 and count backward by 17 as much as they can for 3 minutes (eg. 1000-17=983, 983-17=966, ...).
The theme of the speech test will be chosen by each subjects from the following; self introduction, a funny story of recent or a touching tale. They will speech in front of the medical profession(s) for 3 minutes.

Male and Female
A. Definition criteria of TCM
1. Transient hypokinesis, akinesis, or dyskinesis of the left ventricular midsegments with or without apical involvement; the regional wall motion abnormalities extend beyond a single epicardial vascular distribution; a stressful trigger is often, but not always present.
2. Absence of obstructive coronary disease or angiographic evidence of acute plaque rupture.
3. New electrocardiographic abnormal-
ities (either ST-segment elevation and/or T-wave inversion) or modest elevation of cardiac troponin.
4. Absence of:recent significant head trauma, intracranial bleeding, pheochromocytoma, myocarditis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
B. Subjects inclusion criteria
1. Age >= 20 years old.
2. TCM patietns: History of TCM more than the prior 3 weeks with well-preserved general condition.
3. Healthy subjects: Matched by a comparable age and sex of TCM patients.
1. Patients who have uncontrolled cardiovascular diseases such as congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmia
2. Patients who have uncontrolled diabetes meltis
3. Pregnant or lactating women
4. Patients who have overt concomitant disease
5. Patients who are not eligible for this study by study doctors
