There are currently no drugs listed for "Broken Heart Syndrome". See Cardiomyopathy.
Definition of Broken Heart Syndrome: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a type of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy in which there is a sudden temporary weakening of the myocardium (the muscle of the heart). Because this weakening can be triggered by emotional stress, such as the death of a loved one, the condition is also known as broken heart syndrome.
