Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: One More Angiographic Evidence of Microvascular Dysfunction

Table 2

Coronary flow evaluation in the three groups.

	TC (); (%)/mean ± SD	MVA (); (%)/mean ± SD	CG (); (%)/mean ± SD	value (TCvsCG/TCvsMVA/MVAvsCG)
TIMI 3 LAD	19 (70%)	22 (81%)	26 (96%)	0,01/NS/NS
TFC LAD				0,001/NS/0,001
TIMI 3 RCA	27 (100%)	27 (100%)	27 (100%)	NS
TFC RCA				0,025/NS/0,001
TIMI 3 LC	27 (100%)	25 (93%)	27 (100%)	NS
TFC LC				0,006/NS/0,001

TC: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; MVA: microvascular angina; CG: control group; LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery; RCA: right coronary artery; LC: left circumflex coronary artery; indicates the same result for all the three matches.
