2-D longitudinal strain analysis by tissue-tracking CMR (Software CVI42 Version 5, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Inc., Calgary, Canada) at end-systole in horizontal long-axis view (a), 4-chamber view and 2-chamber view (c) in a patient with the ‘classical form’ of takotsubo syndrome. According to the colour-scale (at the left on each panel), red represents the most positive longitudinal strain and dark-blue represents the most negative longitudinal strain (normal systolic longitudinal strain is negative representing shortening). At end-systole, mid-apical balloning is represented on red with a ‘circumferential pattern’. See Additional files 5, 6 and 7
