AB Content  Update:  Stress  Cardiomyopathy  and  Takotsubo  Syndrome  February  2021Stress  cardiomyopathy  and  its  commonest  form,  Takotsubo  Syndrome,  is  acute  and  transient  left  ventricular  systolic  and  diastolic  dysfunction  after  a  stressful  emotional  or  physical  event.  Common  presenting  symptoms  are  chest  pain,  dyspnea,  and  dizziness.  ECG  abnormalities  can  mimic  STEMI.  Diagnosis  is  confirmed  by  echocardiography  and  by  lack  of  culprit  vessel  involvement  on  coronary  arteriography.  See  full  discussion  below  under  the  section  'Cardiomyopathies  with  Systolic  and  Diastolic  Dysfunction.'
