Effects of CD34+ Stem Cells on Left Ventricular Dysfunction Among Patients With Takotsubo Syndrome
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The underlying mechanisms of microvascular dysfunction in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy remain incompletely understood. As CD34+ cells are essential to coronary microvascular homeostasis we will investigate the potential association between CD34+ cell count and changes in left ventricular function in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy at baseline and 6-month follow-up.
