Abstract

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a syndrome of transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction mimicking acute coronary syndrome. Although the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of TC are unknown, several imaging techniques contribute to its diagnosis. Here we review the current knowledge about TC, in particular, the pathophysiology and the role of imaging including nuclear cardiovascular medicine.
