Why the study?
Although rapid recovery of cardiac contraction is a hallmark of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, its time course is still ill-defined.
Design

May inform serial imaging timing in Takotsubo; leaves open whether T-wave recovery lags contractile function in prospective cohorts.
In Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, left ventricular contractile function recovers rapidly and continuously over 5 weeks, whereas electrocardiographic T wave inversion recovers more slowly.
