Fig. 1
Electrocardiogram at admission
Fig. 2
Fig. 2
Echocardiography showed wall motion abnormalities with typical apical ballooning documented by apical long axis view, 2- and 4- chamber view during diastole (a-c) and systole (d-f)
Fig. 3
Fig. 3
Echocardiographic deformation imaging at acute stage. Peak systolic strain and corresponding regional longitudinal strain curves tracked in the apical long axis view (a, b), the 2-chamber view (c, d) and the 4-chamber view (e, f). The bull’s eye plot of the typical pattern of regional longitudinal strain of the left ventricle is presented in g, the respective strain data are shown in h

Coronary angiogram without signs of CAD in the left (a) and the right (b) coronary artery

Cine B-TFE sequences of cardiac MR illustrate the wall motion abnormalities with typical apical ballooning documented by apical long axis view, 2- and 4- chamber view during diastole (a-c) and systole (d-f)

Fig. 6
MR documentation of the ubiquitous edema by T2STIR sequences in basal, mid and apical short axis views (a-c); documentation of diffuse late enhancement in T1TFE sequences in the long axis view, the 2- and 4-chamber view (d-f). Representative colored illustration of T1-mapping (g), T2-mapping (h) and T1-mapping after contrast (i) for assessment of edema and extracellular volume

Follow-up echocardiographic deformation imaging after 2 months. Peak systolic strain and corresponding regional longitudinal strain curves tracked in the apical long axis view (a, b), the 2-chamber view (c, d) and the 4-chamber view (e, f). The bull’s eye plot of the typical pattern of regional longitudinal strain of the left ventricle is presented in g, the respective strain data are shown in (h)
