Overview
Physical examination findings in patients with stress cardiomyopathy are non-specific and non-diagnostic. The diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy is largely based on ECG, echocardiographic findings, as well as cardiac catheterization.
Physical examination
The following physical examination findings may be seen in patients with stress cardiomyopathy:[1]
| Organ System | Findings | Suggestive Of |
|---|---|---|
| General appearance | Patient may be anxious, ill-appearing or diaphoretic | |
| Vital signs | Cardiogenic shock | |
| Cardiac | Murmurs, S3, gallop rhythm, displaced PMI | Heart failure |
| Respiratory | Rales, crackles | Pulmonary edema |
