Overview
Natural History
Provided that the individual survives their initial presentation, the left ventricular function improves within days to weeks.[1]
Complications
Complications of stress cardiomyopathy include:[2]
- Heart failure
- Cardiogenic shock
- Heart rupture
- Death
Prognosis
The prognosis of stress cardiomyopathy is generally good; most patients have a restored cardiac function within a few weeks. However, fatal complications such as LV free wall rupture and heart rupture may occur.[3]
