This paper is written from the perspective of patients who have been diagnosed with takotsubo syndrome. It seeks to understand why these patients may feel dissatisfied with the care they receive. We consider four factors: (a) takotsubo syndrome is a relatively new condition and the knowledge base about treatment is limited and not widely disseminated among clinicians; (b) the age and gender profile of the patient group; (c) the implications of the categorisation of takotsubo syndrome as 'broken heart syndrome' and the over-emphasis of it as a 'psychosomatic' condition; (d) concern that patients with takotsubo syndrome might be labelled as over-emotional, especially if they do not recover quickly. We argue that these factors contribute to patients with takotsubo syndrome feeling poorly served.
本文从已被诊断为应激性心肌病的患者角度出发，旨在了解他们为何对所接受的治疗不满意。我们考虑了以下四个因素：（a）应激性心肌病是一种相对较新的病症，其治疗相关知识基础有限，且在临床医生中并未广泛传播；（b）患者群体的年龄和性别分布；（c）应激性心肌病被归类为“心碎综合征”以及将其过分强调为“心身”疾病的影响；（d）担心应激性心肌病患者可能被贴上过度情绪化的标签，尤其是如果他们恢复得不快的话。我们认为，这些因素导致应激性心肌病患者的治疗效果较差。
