Key result
Review details clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is a transient left ventricular dysfunction linked to emotional or physical stressors that mimics acute myocardial infarction and requires comprehensive understanding.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May prompt consideration of stress cardiomyopathy after acute stressors; leaves open prospective validation of management strategies.
In Brief The link between an emotional or physical stresses and an acute cardiac event was first discovered in Japan. Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is defined as transient left ventricular dysfunction associated with apical and mid ventricular contractile abnormalities and sparing of basal segments that mimics acute myocardial infarction. This article presents an overview of this disorder. Broken heart syndrome refers to the link between an emotional or physical stressor and an acute cardiac event. This article discusses the syndrome, its signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and management.
