Overview
Coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization are the diagnostic modalities of choice to distinguish between stress cardiomyopathy and acute anterior MI. Normal anatomy of the coronary arteries, along with a reduced ejection fraction supports the diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Cardiac Catheterization
When patients with stress cardiomyopathy undergo cardiac catheterization, the following findings are usually reported:[1][2][3]
- Normal anatomy of the coronary arteries, without evidence of acute plaque rupture
- Low ejection fraction (EF)
- Minimal or no evidence of coronary vasospasm
- Minimal disturbance of microcirculation
Myocardial Biopsy
- Myocardial biopsy, although not necessary for diagnosis, can distinguish between stress cardiomyopathy and MI.
- The histological findings on myocardial biopsy in patients with stress cardiomyopathy include:[4][1]
- Inflammatory infiltrates, consisting of mononuclear lymphocytes, leukocytes and macrophages
- Myocardial fibrosis
- Contraction bands, which may or may not be associated with necrosis
- The combination of inflammatory changes and contraction bands distinguish stress cardiomyopathy from coagulative necrosis seen in MI.[4]
