Overview

Stress cardiomyopathy can be divided into several types, depending on the location of regional wall motion abnormality. The area of motion abnormality (whether hypokinesia, dyskinesia or akinesia) can be detected on echocardiography or left ventriculography. The most common type is the apical type, resulting in apical ballooning. In a minority of patients reverse takotsubo have been described in which unlike apical ballooning the basal and mid ventricular segments of the left ventricle become akinetic.

Classification

Stress cardiomyopathy can affect different segments of the heart. The region of wall motion abnormality can be detected on echocardiography or left ventriculography. The most common type of stress cardiomyopathy is the apical type, which results in hypokinesia of the apical and mid-ventricular segments. Stress cardiomyopathy can be divided according to location of wall motion abnormality into:[1][2][3][4]

Type of Stress Cardiomyopathy Location of Wall Motion Abnormality Incidence (%) Properties
Typical Type(s) Apical Type 81.7
Atypical Type(s) Mid-ventricular Type 14.6
Basal Type

(Reverse Takotsubo)

2.2
Focal Type 1.5
Global Type Very rare
