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]

Prognosis

The recurrence rate is about 3%^[3]^[4]. The in-hospital mortality is very low (1-2%), typically related to the underlying disease in those with physical stressors. Long term survival is good.
