Cardiovascular magnetic resonance characteristics of focal takotsubo syndrome
CMR revealed a distinctive pattern of transient RWMA and myocardial edema in focal TTS, primarily affecting the anterior segments, suggesting that it may be classified as "anterior" TTS. Given its clinical similarity to typical TTS and other differential diagnoses, CMR is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
