Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute heart failure syndrome featured by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction. TTS pathophysiology is still unclear.1 A retrospective analysis using brain 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomographic (PET)–computed tomography (CT) showed higher amygdala activity in subjects who subsequently developed TTS, suggesting a premorbid state.2 The aim of this study was to evaluate potential features of brain metabolism in TTS patients compared with a control group.File in questo prodotto:
