CMR T1 and T2 mapping demonstrated increased myocardial water content conditioning interstitial expansion in acute TTS, detected even outside areas of abnormal wall motion. Oedema burden and distribution associated with mechanical and electrocardiographic changes, making it a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target in TTS.
