Why the study?
Does 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography reveal incomplete left ventricular function recovery in patients 6 to 9 months after takotsubo cardiomyopathy compared to healthy controls?
Does 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography reveal incomplete left ventricular function recovery in patients 6 to 9 months after takotsubo cardiomyopathy compared to healthy controls?
2D speckle tracking echocardiography reveals that left ventricular apical function may not fully recover 6 to 9 months after a takotsubo cardiomyopathy episode, despite normalization of traditional echocardiographic parameters.

Speckle tracking may detect persistent apical dysfunction after TTC; hypothesis-generating for outcomes and monitoring.
Nowak et al. (2017) studied this question.
