Figure 4 Scintigraphic features of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy are depicted.
Bull’s eye maps of 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI), 123I-MIBG and 123I-β-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) are shown. Both 123I-MIBG and 123I-BMIPP images show reduced uptake in the apical segment of the myocardium, which are typical features of the disease.
