Assessment of left ventricular recovery in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy using 2D strain echocardiography
2013
Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases
Background.-Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterized by transient stress induced transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This LV systolic dysfunction is characterized by a recovery. The aim of this study was to assess LV involvement in TTC by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography. Patients.-We prospectively studied 40 patients (pts) presenting with typical pattern of TTC. All patients underwent three echocardiographic examinations: at admission, at day 5 and at one-month follow-up.
