ABSTRACT
A recently reported cardiac syndrome of transient left ventricular dysfunction, clinically resembles acute myocardial infarction and presents with chest pain, ECG changes and minimal elevation of cardiac enzymes in absence of myocardial ischemia or injury. The clinical presentation includes a wide range of symptoms and left ventricular function is normalized completely within days to weeks. This syndrome is likely a non-ischemic, metabolic-dependent syndrome caused by stress-induced activation of the cardiac adrenoreceptors. We report three cases of stress-induced transient LV dysfuction.
