Overview

Natural History

Provided that patients survive the initial insult without any complications, most patients recover and have a normalized cardiac function within a few weeks.[1]

Complications

Complications of stress cardiomyopathy include:[1][2]

Prognosis

The prognosis of stress cardiomyopathy is generally good, even without medical therapy.[3] Most patients have a restored cardiac function within a few weeks. However, fatal complications such as LV free wall rupture and heart rupture may occur and mortality rate ranges from 0-8%.[1][3]
