Key result
Right ventriculography detects regional RV wall motion abnormalities in biventricular takotsubo syndrome.
Why the study?
Right ventricular involvement in takotsubo syndrome has prognostic impact, but assessment methods in the acute phase need clarification.
Population

Spontaneous biventricular recovery in this case supports transient RV involvement in takotsubo; leaves open utility of acute right ventriculography pending prospective data.
Case Report (n=1)
Right ventriculography is a useful clinical tool in the acute phase to detect regional right ventricular wall motion abnormalities in takotsubo syndrome.
Kato et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Biventricular takotsubo syndrome (n=1). Right ventriculography was evaluated on Detection of regional right ventricular wall motion abnormality. Right ventriculography successfully detected regional right ventricular wall motion abnormalities in an 86-year-old woman with biventricular takotsubo syndrome.
