Stress (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy presents with various electrocardiographic features such as ST segment elevations and T wave inversions that can mimic acute myocardial infarction.
Case Report (n=2)
Stress cardiomyopathy exhibits a wide range of ECG abnormalities that can mimic acute myocardial infarction, necessitating careful evaluation and often coronary angiography to establish the diagnosis.
Stress (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy (SC) is a cardiomyopathy characterised by transient myocardial dysfunction, commonly triggered by a surge in catecholamine. Electrocardiographic features may mimic other conditions, such as myocardial infarction. We presented two cases of SC and reviewed the electrocardiographic features of this disease entity.
