	Takotsubo	Control	p-value
E/A	0.97 [0.49–1.45]	1.11 [0.69–1.53]	0.57
DT	201 [167–235]	183 [139–227]	0.43
E/E′	8.2 [5.5–10.9]	8.0 [5.4–10.5]	0.34
LV-MPI	0.54 [0.40–0.68]	0.54 [0.45–0.63]	0.98
RV-MPI	0.36 [0.21–0.51]	0.37 [0.31–0.43]	0.98

Median values [interquartile range]. E/A; early and atrial transmitral flow fraction, DT; deceleration time, E/E′; early transmitral flow and early tissue Doppler velocity fraction, LV-MPI; left ventricular myocardial performance index, RV-MPI; right ventricular MPI. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the median values for the two independent groups.
