Key result
CMR aids Takotsubo cardiomyopathy diagnosis and differentiation via comprehensive functional and anatomical assessment.
Why the study?
The long-term prognosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may not be as clear-cut as previously thought, prompting an update on the use of CMR in its diagnosis.

May aid differentiation of Takotsubo from ACS and myocarditis; leaves open need for prospective validation before routine adoption.
CMR provides a comprehensive, safe, and reproducible assessment of myocardial properties in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, playing a critical role in its diagnosis and differentiation from acute coronary syndromes and myocarditis.
Gunasekara et al. (2020) conducted a review in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides a comprehensive assessment of myocardial functional and anatomical properties, aiding in the diagnosis and differentiation of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
