심실 중벽부 무운동을 보이는 재발성 스트레스성 심근병증 = A case of recurrent stress-induced cardiomyopathy with mid-ventricular wall motion abnormality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The novel stress-induced cardiomyopathy, mimicking acute myocardial infarction, has recently been reported. We experienced a case of novel cardiomyopathy with recurrent episodes following emotional stress. We reported on this novel cardiomyopathy showing transient left mid-ventricular wall motion abnormality following emotional stress. Our case exhibited an acute onset, transient left mid-ventricular wall motion abnormality with chest pain, electrocardiographic changes and minimal enzyme release, which mimicked acute myocardial infarction without stenosis on the coronary angiogram. Wall motion abnormality and clinical outcome was rapidly improved within a few weeks. (Korean J Med 69:S812-S817, 2005)
