Structured PICO

Is late gadolinium enhancement by CMR in the sub-acute phase associated with severity and prolonged recovery in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?

Population

Patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC)

Intervention

Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the sub-acute phase

Outcome

Severity and prolonged recovery to normal of clinical findings

Late gadolinium enhancement on CMR during the sub-acute phase of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may indicate greater disease severity and a prolonged recovery.

Abstract

LGE by CMR in the sub-acute phase may be associated with the severity and prolonged recovery to normal of clinical findings in TTC.
