Does cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging aid in the diagnosis of Stress (Takotsubo) Cardiomyopathy?
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging at initial presentation provides valuable functional and tissue characterization to aid in diagnosing Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
The clinical profile of SC is considerably broader than reported previously. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging at the time of initial clinical presentation may provide relevant functional and tissue information that might aid in the establishment of the diagnosis of SC.
