Stress cardiomyopathy is a form of acute and transient myocardial injury characterized by regional systolic dysfunction.1 Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a stress cardiomyopathy with a specific pattern of regional systolic dysfunction. It is classically induced by emotional or physical stress and often mimics an acute myocardial infarction.1,2 Regional wall abnormalities in TTC typically compromise the left ventricle (LV), extend beyond the coronary artery supply region, and have an apical and circumferential pattern of myocardial dysfunction that results in apical ballooning of the LV during systole.
