Recent studies suggest that coronary flow reserve (CFR) is transiently impaired in tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). Mechanisms by which such impairment occurs are still unknown. To assess the relationship between CFR obtained by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TDE) and parameters of left ventricular (LV) performance in patients with TTC.
