About Video

This video Takotsubo cardiomyopathy shows apical four-chamber view. Velocity vector imaging. The individual arrows point to the direction of endocardial motion, while the lengths are proportional to velocity. Compared to baseline (left movie), the velocity of motion has significantly increased in the left ventricle (LV) mid segments, while the apex is still hypokinetic during follow up (right movie).
