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]

(A) Echocardiograph showing dilatation of the left ventricle in the acute phase. (B) Resolution of left ventricular function on repeat echocardiograph 6 days later.
