No
This case report demonstrates the successful medical management of stress-induced cardiomyopathy triggered by major surgical procedures.
May support medical management of postoperative stress cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
In our study, we presented a 48 year old female patient who developed stress cardiomyopathy after undergoing two major surgeries:- left nephrectomy followed by exploratory laparotomy with limited resection of colon with colostomy. Our patient had chest pain and dyspnea. ECG and ECHO findings were consistent with findings of stress cardiomyopathy. The Troponin I and BNP levels were also raised. Our patient developed left ventricular failure which was treated with injection lasix and injection morphine. Further management included beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics. Our patient responded to the treatment and improved progressively.

Chaudhary et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Stress Induced Cardiomyopathy (n=1). Medical management (diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors) was evaluated on Clinical improvement. A 48-year-old female patient who developed stress cardiomyopathy after two major surgeries successfully recovered following medical management with diuretics, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors.
