Summary:[...]biventricular apical ballooning pattern is seen in one third of patients with TCM. [...]we would greatly appreciate if the authors could share the data on RV function in the patients involved in their study because the knowledge of RV involvement not only helps clinicians to tailor their treatment options but also carries a significant prognostic influence.
