Résumé
Stress cardiomyopathy is a reversible cause of cardiomyopathy characterized by a transient dysfunction in left ventricular systolic function. It is most common in postmenopausal women and usually occurs following an emotional and/or physical stressor. The classical imaging finding is described as left ventricular apical ballooning. However, several rare variants have been reported with a strikingly different regional distribution of wall motion abnormalities. We describe a case of a 65-year-old female who was found to have stress cardiomyopathy with variant wall motion abnormality on the left ventriculogram without a preceding stressor event. We postulate that there may be a link between stress-induced cardiomyopathy without a preceding stressor event and variant wall motion abnormality patterns.
