Left ventricular morphology and response to beta-adrenergic stimulation in apical ballooning syndrome.
AIMS The patho-physiology of apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) has not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with a history of ABS are more likely to develop left ventricular (LV) mid-cavity or outflow tract obstruction, or have a greater regional LV contractile response to an adrenergic stimulus compared with normal controls.
