Overview
Echocardiography is done in patients with stress cardiomyopathy to document apical ballooning, dyskinesia/akinesia and reduced ejection fraction.
Echocardiography
The following echocardiographic findings may be seen in patients with stress cardiomyopathy:[1][2][3][4]
*Apical or mid-segment dyskinesia or akinesia
*Left ventricular systolic dysfunction
*Reduced ejection fraction
