CMR can visualize the entire spectrum of functional and structural changes that occur in patients with TTS.
In the acute phase, CMR is recommended in doubtful TTS cases, especially if diagnosis of another type of MINOCA (e.g. myocarditis) requires a different therapeutic approach
Although the role of nuclear imaging in TTS has not yet been well established in clinical practice, myocardial perfusion and sympathetic nerve innervation can be assessed by SPECT and MIBG. #EACVIBestof2020#EACVIMMI#WhyCMR
