Abstract
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is an important differential diagnosis to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), as the patients present with chest pain, ST-T segment alterations and extensive myocardial wall motion abnormalities. The prevalence is unknown but SIC has been reported to be present in approximately 2% of patients presenting for emergency PCI [1,2]. So far, no large cohort studies have attempted to address the prognosis, etiology or epidemiology of SIC.
