Sara WallströmKerstin UlinElmir OmerovicInger EkmanPublished in: BMJ open (2016)
Acute symptoms, and symptoms before and after the acute ones, are a major part of the illness experience for patients with takotsubo syndrome and affect their health and well-being. Assessment of symptoms should be an integrated part of care to promote health. One way of achieving this is through the patients' own narratives of their experiences, which are an important component in person-centred care.
