Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In patients with stress cardiomyopathy who were developed by the stress, the part of brain where becomes active during excitation was evaluated by the MR spectroscopy (MRS). The specific association between the brain and the heart in the subjects after the onset of symptoms were investigated. Regarding the heart, it was confirmed that the left ventricular ejection fraction and the cardiac sympathetic nerve function normalized from the acute to the chronic phase, however, no change was observed for the indicator of neuronal marker obtained from MRS. We hypothesized that the excitement in the brain was controlling specific changes in the heart, but we could not demonstrate in this study.
