We investigated if myocardial edema is a feature of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). Seven TTC patients in the acute phase were studied using cine, T2 and late enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). A transmural area of high T2 signal was visible involving the mid-anterior wall and apical segments matching the distribution of hypokinesis. CMR-identified edema is a feature of TTC. This may provide insight into the pathophysiology of stress-induced cardiomyopathy and serve as a useful tool for its non-invasive characterization.
我们研究了心肌水肿是否为应激性心肌病（TTC）的一个特征。使用电影成像、T2加权成像及延迟强化心血管磁共振成像（CMR）对7例急性期TTC患者进行了研究。可见高T2信号的透壁区域累及前壁中部和心尖节段，与运动减弱的分布相匹配。CMR识别出的水肿是TTC的一个特征。这可能有助于深入了解应激性心肌病的病理生理学，并作为其无创性特征描述的有用工具。
