Why the study?
Is Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy associated with global myocardial oedema as assessed by T2-weighted cardiac MRI?
Is Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy associated with global myocardial oedema as assessed by T2-weighted cardiac MRI?
T2-weighted cardiac MRI demonstrates that Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is associated with slowly resolving global myocardial oedema that correlates with contractile dysfunction and biomarker release.
