Myocardial Edema, Blood Flow, and Contractility in Takotsubo Syndrome: Comparative Evaluation with CMR and PET.
BACKGROUND Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) features transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, often with myocardial edema and impaired coronary microcirculation. The relationships between myocardial edema, blood flow, and LV contractility remain unclear. We retrospectively examined these associations using cardiac magnetic...
