    Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction and mimics acute coronary syndrome.

  • 2

    Recent studies reveal that long-term mortality in TTS patients may exceed that of acute myocardial infarction.

  • 3

    Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is crucial for diagnosing TTS and assessing complications linked to poor outcomes.

  • 4

    The PE2RT score, derived from CMR findings, predicts long-term major adverse cardiovascular events in TTS patients.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the need for simple imaging features to enhance prognostic assessments in TTS management.
