All abbreviations are as per Tables 1 and 2. Focally abnormal myocardium: myocardium affected by either late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) or by regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) defined as severe hypokinesia, akinesia or dyskinesia on cines in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Reference myocardium: myocardium not affected by RMWA or LGE. aindicates material from extended analysis period included to address peer review
