This is a minimal risk case-controlled single arm intervention study, including 10 patients
with a prior history of takotsubo and 10-age and sex matched healthy controls. Subjects will
undergo in laboratory testing to measure autonomic function. They will then undergo a 15-week
program of device-guided breathing with remote measures of autonomic function obtained at
home. Analysis will determine the reproducibility of home autonomic measures and the provide
preliminary data to determine the efficacy of device-guided breathing on autonomic measures
and quality of life in patients with takotsubo.
