Why the study?
What are the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics that distinguish transient left ventricular apical ballooning from acute myocardial infarction?
What are the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics that distinguish transient left ventricular apical ballooning from acute myocardial infarction?
Magnetic resonance imaging can be used to identify specific characteristics that distinguish transient left ventricular apical ballooning from acute myocardial infarction.
MRI may aid differentiation of apical ballooning from infarction in select cases; leaves open prospective validation in larger cohorts.
The magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of transient left ventricular apical ballooning are described in this report, and the features that distinguish it from acute myocardial infarction are emphasized.
