Figure 1From: The clinical impact of late gadolinium enhancement in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy: serial analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imagesLeft ventriculography images. Top, typical type of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy showing akinesis in the mid and apical portions of the LV chamber along with hypercontraction of the basal LV (A: diastole, B: systole). Bottom, atypical type of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in which the LV apex is not affected (C: diastole, D: systole). LV indicates left ventricle.Back to article page
