Overview

The cause of stress cardiomyopathy is largely unknown. However, it is usually triggered by emotional and/or physical stress and may be related to certain medical conditions. According to a study in the literature, plasma catecholamine levels were higher in patients with stress cardiomyopathy compared to the patients with myocardial infarction. However, other studies showed that catecholamine levels were similar in both groups. [1] In addition stress cardiomyopathy can be induced by high doses of catecholamines and even standard doses of dobutamine in daily clinical practise. [2] [3] It is not understood why the disease mostly affects postmenopausal women and why the apex and mid-ventricular part of left ventricle are specifically affected.

Causes

The cause of stress cardiomyopathy is unknown. However, stress cardiomyopathy can result from various medical conditions including:[4][5][6]
