Case report: Co-existing sinus and atrio-ventricular node dysfunction following stress-induced cardiomyopathy
Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy (SCM), also known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Apical Balooning Syndrome, is an acute, transient and non-ischaemic cause of left ventricular dysfunction often precipitated by periods of stress1.

| Summary: | Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy (SCM), also known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Apical Balooning Syndrome, is an acute, transient and non-ischaemic cause of left ventricular dysfunction often precipitated by periods of stress1. Diagnosis often follows evidence of left ventricular hypokinesia despite a normal coronary angiography. Prevalence is often underestimated, with an estimated 7% of suspected myocardial infarctions being in fact SCM2. We report a unique case of multi-nodal dysfunction following SCM. © 2019, JMN Medical Education Ltd. All rights reserved. |
