ABSTRACT
The authors reported two cases of acute catecholamines cardiomyopathy expressed clinically by chest pain and dyspnea, without any previous cardiac history. The diagnosis of human stress cardiomyopathy is established on: typically rapid onset aftermath of intense emotional stress, left ventricular apical akinesis and hyperkinetic motion of basal walls imaged by two-dimensional echocardiography. Rapid reversal clinical course and normal coronary arteriography. Similar finding have been observed in conjunction with pheochromocytoma who have been excluded by normal levels of urinary catecholamines metabolites.
