Stress cardiomyopathy, also called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome, is defined as acute left ventricular dysfunction associated with high stimulation of endogenous or exogenous catecholamine in a critically ill individual. The detailed mechanisms underlying the association between this autonomic storm and myocardial toxicity are comprehensively discussed in this book. According to the diagnostic criteria released by the American Heart Association, the diagnosis of this reversible cardiomyopathy requires: 1) Transient left ventricular wall motion abnormalities involving the apical and/or midventricular myocardial segments with wall motion abnormalities extending beyond a single epicardial coronary artery distribution; 2) the absence of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease that could be responsible for the observed wall motion abnormality; 3) ECG abnormalities, such as transient ST-segment elevation and/or diffused T wave inversion associated with a slight troponin elevation; and 4) the lack of proven pheochromocytoma and myocarditis. This issue of stress cardiomyopathy comprehensively discussed the crosstalk between the brain and the heart. Experts review the most updated literature regarding clinical profile, imaging modalities, management and infectious or neurologic stress induced cardiomyopathy. The latest information will help medical practitioners in the diagnosis and management of this condition. The purpose of this book is to provide an up-to-date review of the clinical presentation of stress cardiomyopathy, discuss possible causal mechanisms, and highlight the recent development of managements.
