Excerpt
T2- and T1-mapping are novel CMR techniques allowing objective tissue characterization. These techniques have been shown to be superior to dark blood imaging in NSTEMI patients in detecting ischaemic area at risk and acute oedema. These methods have not been assessed in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TC).The aim of the study was to assess myocardial involvement using T2- and T1-mapping in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TC). …
