Cardiomyopathies indicate inherited and specific acquired diseases with structural and functional changes in the heart muscle. We divide it to ischemic diseases that arise as a result of coronary artery disease, and non-ischemic where we include dilatation, hypertrophic and restriction cardiomyopathy. The consequence of all changes due to cardiomyopathy is cardiac failure or cardiac disorder and function, resulting in decreased oxygen supply, and is manifested by the decrease of the systolic and / or diastolic function of the left and / or right ventricles of the heart. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a relatively new term that indicates passive left ventricular dysfunction caused by physical or emotional stress in a healthy person without previous cardiac disorders. It is characterized by sudden and severe chest pain accompanied by a sense of lack of air. ECG changes are visible while coronarography results are normal. Clinical picture of Takotsubo cardiomyopathies is similar to acute myocardial infarction and therefore good diagnostics are needed. Research has shown that women, more often in menopausal women, are associated with a lower level of estrogen, and a person exposed to a great emotional stressful event. When Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is unknown, inadequate treatment can lead to a number of complications such as cardiogenic shock, thromboembolism, heart failure, cerebrovascular insult, acute myocardial infarction until death. The role of nurses is related to the monitoring of the hemodynamic status, the early detection of complications, the preparation of the patient for diagnostic and therapeutic methods, the provision of patient and family support, and the education of the patient and the family, and the very purpose of health care to prevent the progression of cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute condition that endangers the life of a patient, and in taking care of such a condition, nurses also have a great role to play. If it is timely diagnosed and treated, a large number of patients can be fully recovered. It is a relatively new term in the wider public, so the goal of this paper is to get to know as many people with a Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or "Heart-broken syndrome".
