Is Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy associated with global myocardial oedema as assessed by T2-weighted cardiac MRI?
T2-weighted cardiac MRI demonstrates that Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is associated with slowly resolving global myocardial oedema that correlates with contractile dysfunction and biomarker release.
TTC is associated with slowly resolving global myocardial oedema, the acute extent of which correlates with regional contractile disturbance and acute release of both catecholamines and NT-proBNP.
