Late gadolinium enhancement does occur in Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy — A quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance and speckle tracking strain study

Conclusion LGE was present in 41% of cases of TTC, 89% of which had intense enhancement >5 SD above normal myocardium. Presence of LGE was associated with worse myocardial injury in the acute setting, with no difference in recovery of function.
