Emotional Dysregulation and Autonomic Dysfunction in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Patients
Emotional dysregulation is strongly associated with autonomic dysfunction in TCM patients, even after adjusting for anxiety, depression, and clinical variables. These findings underscore the importance of integrating psychological assessment and emotion-focused interventions into cardiac care. Given the cross-sectional design and region-specific sample, causal inference and generalizability remain limited. Routine mental health screening and early interventions may improve recovery and reduce recurrence.
