Population

80-year-old female with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

Intervention

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) follow-up imaging

Outcome

Differentiation of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy from acute coronary syndrome and assessment of coronary flow reserve and myocardial blood flowsurrogate

PET/CT imaging can differentiate Takotsubo cardiomyopathy from acute coronary syndrome and reveals global microcirculatory impairment in the acute stage.
