FDG PET/CT is useful for evaluating metabolic dysfunction in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and patients with sinoatrial nodal impairment may need long-term pacing.
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography is valuable for clarifying the metabolic basis of TTC-related myocardial dysfunction, complementing perfusion imaging. Early pacing evaluation is critical for TTC patients with sinoatrial nodal impairment-even with AV nodal recovery, persistent sinoatrial dysfunction may require long-term pacing support to prevent bradycardia-related adverse events.
