CMR with parametric mapping and LGE helps confirm takotsubo syndrome diagnosis.
Case Report (n=1)
Parametric CMR with early and late gadolinium enhancement can help confirm the diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome in patients presenting with myocardial infarction with non-obstructed coronary arteries.
May aid takotsubo confirmation in MINOCA; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Background: mapping. Case summary: mapping that matched the wall motion abnormalities and the less frequently described positive early and late gadolinium enhancement. Discussion: This case highlights the diagnostic pathway in TTS and the ability of CMR to make a diagnosis in myocardial infarction with non-obstructed coronary arteries. We describe the characteristic cardiac imaging features of TTS while discussing the positive late gadolinium enhancement patterns that may help confirm the diagnosis.

Sunnasy et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Takotsubo syndrome (n=1). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging with parametric mapping and late gadolinium enhancement can help confirm the diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome.
