Abstract
- Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by transient wall-motion abnormalities involving the left ventricular apex. Emotional or physical stress might play a key role in this reversible form of cardiomyopathy, but the etiology remains unclear. Clinical features of stress-induced cardiomyopathyare similar to those of acute coronary syndrome, but there is no significant stenosis in the coronary arteries. Recently, transient mid-ventricular ballooning syndrome, a variant form of stress-induced cardiomyopathy in which only the mid-ventricle is affected, has been reported. Here, we report a case of a 42-year-old female patient who developed transient mid-ventricular ballooning syndrome after cardiac arrest during autologous fat transplantation.
