چکیده
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCMP) is characterized by a rapid, severe and usually reversible ventricular wall dysfunction, ST segment changes on EKG and troponin leak without evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease by coronary angiography. It represents approximately 1.2% of all troponin positive acute coronary syndromes [1]. Physical or emotional stressors have been identified as triggers precipitating this syndrome in the majority of the cases.
