The Balkan Medical Journal has published a groundbreaking consensus report on Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS), developed with the collaboration of experts from 16 countries. This report addresses the pressing diagnostic and treatment challenges associated with TTS, a condition characterized by reversible heart dysfunction that often mimics myocardial infarction. By providing actionable recommendations, the report aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve management strategies, fostering a more standardized approach to TTS care across global clinical settings. This international effort marks a significant step forward in addressing the complexities of TTS in medical practice.
The publisher of our journal has been changed. As of January 2022, Balkan Medical Journal started working with GALENOS. We will continue to use the same online manuscript tracking system (Manuscript Manager). However, there have been some changes to our website. We wanted to inform all our authors, readers, and reviewers.
