Echocardiography

The following echocardiographic findings may be seen in patients with stress cardiomyopathy:

*Apical ballooning

*Apical or mid-segment dyskinesia or akinesia

*Left ventricular systolic dysfunction

*Reduced ejection fraction

(A) Echocardiograph showing dilatation of the left ventricle in the acute phase. (B) Resolution of left ventricular function on repeat echocardiograph 6 days later.
