Abstract
Abstract: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease. We report a rare case of dobutamine-induced transient cardiomyopathy during dobutamine stress echocardiography, whose coronary angiography was suggestive of noncritical coronary artery disease. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged after 7 days in a hemodynamically stable condition with improved LV function. Anticoagulation was not pursued due to improvement in LV function. We also herein aim to review the epidemiology, various accepted mechanisms of etiopathogenesis, clinical features, complications, diagnostic criteria, and currently practiced guidelines on the management of stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
