AB  - Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a disease that can be misinterpreted as a more 
      serious acute coronary syndrome. Its clinical characteristics resemble those of a 
      myocardial infarct, while its imaging characteristics are critical on correctly 
      characterizing and diagnosing the disease. From angiography, where coronary 
      anatomy is evaluated, to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), where morphology and 
      tissue characterization is assessed, the array of imaging options is quite 
      extent. In particular, CMR has achieved great improvements (stronger magnetic 
      fields, better coils, etc.) in the last decade which in turn has made this 
      imaging technology more attractive in the evaluation and diagnosis of TC. With 
      its superior soft tissue resolution and dynamic imaging capabilities, CMR is 
      currently, perhaps, the most useful imaging technique in TC as apical ballooning 
      or medio-basal wall motion abnormalities (WMA), presence of wall edema and late 
      gadolinium enhancement (LGE) characteristics are critical in the diagnosis and 
      characterization of this pathology. In this review, CMRs role in TC will be 
      evaluated in light of the current available evidence in medical literature, while 
      also revising the clinical and physiopathologic characteristics of TC.
